Identification
A weaver with a plain olive back and yellow underparts and different-looking sexes: the male has a chestnut head and face and a small black throat patch, while the female has a black hood reaching below the eyes and a yellow throat. Juvenile is like the female, but the hood is duller. Rare and restricted to southern Cameroon, where it remains poorly known from lowland rainforest. Vocalizations are undescribed.
