White-browed Sparrow-Weaver (Plocepasser mahali)

These attractive members of the weaver family (Ploceidae) were common throughout most of our visit to Namibia. They seemed to prefer arid areas away from the immediate coast. This is presumably the paler white tail-tipped race "P. m. ansorgei" which ranges in northern Namibia. They come in two types, females are pink billed as seen here, and males are black billed.
