Yellow-capped Weaver

Ploceus dorsomaculatus

A yellow-and-black weaver. Male has a distinctive golden crown and upper back, but the lower back and tail are black. Female is black on the mask, and on the forehead up to the midcrown. Juvenile is mostly dark above. An uncommon resident in the middle levels and canopy of primary and secondary forest, especially sub-montane forest. Found in pairs and small groups, and often joins mixed-species flocks. Mostly silent, the voice undocumented. Preuss’s Weaver is similar to Yellow-capped, but it has a yellow (not black) lower back and rump, and it creeps along branches and trunks like a nuthatch.
