Crnoplašta zeba Nigrita fusconotus

Unusual little nigrita with pale underparts, a black cap, and a brown back. Found in and around humid forest at low and middle elevations, usually in pairs or small groups in the canopy. One song consists of an up-and-down series of mournful whistles. Another, which is more distinctive, is a long, descending series of high-pitched notes. Superficially similar to some waxbills, but separated by the lack of red plumage.
