Yellow-mantled widowbird : ウィキペディア英語版 | Yellow-mantled widowbird
The yellow-mantled widowbird (''Euplectes macroura''), also known as the yellow-backed widow, is a species of bird in the Ploceidae family. It is the type species of the ''Euplectes'' genus, originally named from the city of Ouidah in Benin. Nowadays the name ''whydah'' (from "Ouidah") is however applied to some species in the Viduidae. Males are larger than females and acquire longer tails and striking black and golden yellow plumages in the breeding season. The mantle colour is either golden yellow, or in the case of the northeastern race, ''E. m. macrocercus'', black. The yellow shoulders persist in all male plumages, whether breeding or non-breeding. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. It is widely distributed in Africa, and is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The distinct race ''E. m. macrocercus'' occurs in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.〔 ==References==
