Possible Golden Backed Weaver - 6/14/2017 - Queen Elizabeth NP, Uganda (1 Viewer)

Hello.

I think this is a golden backed weaver. Can anyone confirm or provide another ID?

Thanks,
Scott

I believe this is Yellow backed, Golden backed should have black extending onto the nape if I remember correctly, saying that, I didn't spend as much time as I should have with the Weavers when I was in Uganda, so perhaps best await confirmation.

Yellow-backed (now officially Black-headed), not Goldenbacked

Black-headed Weaver indeed, Golden-backed doesn't reach QENP but exist further east in Uganda such Lake Mburo NP (and abound around Lake Victoria).
