White-browed Sparrow-Weaver

The White-browed Sparrow-Weaver (Plocepasser mahali; Afrikaans: Koringvoël) is a predominantly brown, sparrow-sized weaver found throughout central and northcentral southern Africa.[1] It is found in groups of two to eleven individuals consisting of one breeding pair and nonreproductive individuals.

It ranges from 17 to 19 cm (6.7 to 7.5 in) in length and is characterized by a broad, white eyebrow stripe and white rump visible in flight. While the male White-browed Sparrow-Weaver sports a black bill, the female’s bill is horn-colored; that of the juvenile is pinkish-brown. In Zimbabwe, the White-browed Sparrow-Weaver shows faint brown spotting across its white breast.[2]

The White-browed Sparrow-Weaver may emit either a brief chik-chick or a loud, fluid, cheoop-preeoo-chop whistle.[2]
