Christa Moller emailed photographs of a Village Weaver male at Zwartkloof N.R. Bela Bela, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The male had a black head, resembling the subspecies nigriceps. Christa first noticed the male at the bird feeder on 03/03/2019 and again on 04/03/2019. Christa did not observe this male in the fever tree where the normal-plumaged Village Weavers are nesting.
