Red-billed Pytilia (Pytilia lineata)

A difficult to find Ethiopian endemic. This was the only individual I saw during my stay. I've consulted four books regarding the name and come up wth three alternative names - Red-billed Pytilia, Ethiopian Auroa Finch and Lineated Pytilia. A new one for the database.
