Black-lored Waxbill

The Black-lored Waxbill is a data-deficient, tiny estrildid finch with brown plumage, pale underparts, a red rump, and small black lore patches. It has a very restricted range in the forests and dense thickets of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and very little is known of its ecology and behavior. It likely feeds on small grass seeds and insects in the manner typical of African waxbills.
