Buff-browed Weaver-bird. 
This West African species, which ranges from the Gold Coast to the 
Congo, has occurred at Caconda, where Senor Anchieta has 
found it. 
In the winter plumage it may be easily recognized by the broad 
brownish buff eyebrow contrasting with the blackish crown, which 
tends to brownish on the nape. In the summer plumage the eye- 
brow is yellow, and the cheeks, part of the ear-coverts, chin, and 
upper throat are black.

species.

Captain Shelley writes: ‘“‘ This species appears to be most nearly allied 
to Sharpia angolensis. The black border to the forehead, and the 
absence of any yellow on the rump, upper tail-coverts and abdomen 
in the present species, appear to me to be more likely specific than 
sexual differences.”
