Hi all,

One of my business partner's pictures from last year in Kenya, he has it down as an African Golden Weaver but google doesn't show any of that species with the white belly. I thought it was possibly a Village Weaver?

I think it could well be a juvenile female African Golden Weaver.

Pinkish orange bill and yellow throat/ clean white belly combo suggest female Red-headed to me.

Zimmerman et al has a picture of a juvenile female African Golden Weaver which looks just like this, including the pink bill (Plate 113, 3c).
