The Red-headed Quelea is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
Yong Ding Li suggested that it might be a Red-headed Quelea, one of those gregarious finches of the African grasslands. On the other hand it could well be a Cardinal Quelea (Quelea cardinalis) subspecies Rhodesia, which looks like the Red-headed Quelea (Zimmermann et al., 1999). So, within a period of about two weeks, two sightings were made of the African weaver at opposite ends of the island. Is there a possibility that these queleas were released to coincide with a religious festival? Just a thought. More
