Indigobird Village (Vidua chalybeata) male – Gambia

This Village Indigobird is easily confused with Wilson’s Indigobird in the region.

The Indigobird of West, East and North East Africa has a silver (white) bill whereas those in Southern Africa have a red bill. Seems a good candidate for a split?
