African Orange weaver finch.....sometimes called the Red Bishop and sometimes called the Orange Bishop.  It is a finch and I had one who honored my aviary from Feb 4th 1987 until Jan 18, 2010.  He was unbelieveable.... would change from his breeding orange & black to a drab brown and compared to a tiny sparrow in off season.  He lived 4 times the average age of his breed in captivity.  After 23 years, I miss him very much.

PS...their wings never change color.... only the velvety black and the bright orange/reddish areas.  The more ''color food'' they are fed,... the more red they become.
