Sudan Golden Sparrow

The Sudan Golden Sparrow is a smaller sparrow, at 12 to 13 centimetres in length, with a wingspan of 5.7 to 7.0 centimetres . Males are distinctive in their bright yellow head and underparts, deep chestnut brown wings and back, and two white wingbars. In the breeding season the male's plumage is brighter still, and the bill changes colour from horn to shiny black. Females are pale sandy-buff with yellowish face, light brown wings, a back faintly streaked with chestnut, and pale yellow fading to whitish on the underparts. Juveniles are similar to females, but greyer.
