Original – The Village or Black-headed weaver (Ploceus cucullatus bohndorffi). Males build their nests in hope that a female will be impressed by their skill. This bird in the Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda should have no problems attracting a mate.

Reason: Illustrates detail of nest very clearly. FP on Commons.

Very nice, but do I see some haloing or chromatic aberrations around the bird's back? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:21, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything. The back feathers have motion blur of course. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:12, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's the opposite of blur. It's almost overly sharp, except for some haloing. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:18, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I like the image a lot, but I note that it currently appears only in a gallery in village weaver (and not at all in black-headed weaver). Josh Milburn (talk) 23:08, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd not seen the article you mention @J Milburn:. The article for the Yellow-backed weaver (a different species) was incorrect named black-headed weaver and my link went to it. I've now renamed the article. Do you think it should be the main picture? I've added the image to the page Ploceidae. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:09, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
