The Black-cheeked Waxbill is a small, pretty estrildid finch of East African dry scrublands and savanna, with grey upperparts, a black face mask, and pinkish-red flanks and rump. It ranges from Ethiopia and Sudan south to Tanzania, inhabiting dry bush, scrub, and grassland with scattered trees. It feeds on small grass seeds and occasionally small insects.

The African Firefinch weighs about 10g and is widespread across sub-Saharan grasslands. Males have rich red plumage with white flank spots, making them among the most colorful small African birds.
