It is not closely related to the genus Bradypterus, where it was placed for many years, but instead is placed in a monotypic genus Cryptillas. It is found only in fynbos, the endemic shrubland habitat found in the Western Cape of South Africa. The common name and scientific name commemorates Johan Frederik Victorin (1831-1855), a Swedish traveler who visited South Africa. #BirdsSeria #WarblersSeria #RooiborsruigtesangerSeria #VictorinsWarblersSeria #SouthAfricanBirdsSeria #SouthAfricanAnimalsSeria #AfricanAnimalsSeria #SouthAfricanWarblersSeria #AfricanBirdsSeria #AfricanWarblersSeria #25December2017seria #25DecemberSeria #2017DecemberSeria #2017MondaySeria #MondayDecemberSeria #MondaySeria (Cape Town, Western Cape)

This species is relatively common throughout most of the range in sub-Saharan Africa, and mainly in E, SE and South Africa. It frequents moist or marshy areas and tall grassland where it feeds on seeds of grasses and insects. It is gregarious outside breeding season and may form large flocks at communal roosts. It is resident in its range. The White-winged Widowbird has currently stable population and the species is not globally threatened. DESCRIPTION OF THE BIRD: Biometrics: Length: 14 cm (tail: 8-8,5 cm) Weight: M: 20-27 g – F: 16-24 g The White-winged Widowbird adult male in breeding plumage has black plumage overall including the head. However, on the upperwing, the black primaries have white bases, whereas the secondaries show white bases and narrow buff edges. The lesser coverts are bright yellow and the black median coverts have buffy edges. The black tertials and also primary and greater coverts show broad white edges. This pattern forms a white wing patch conspicuous in flight, with a white and yellow epaulet on shoulder. The fairly long, fan-shaped tail is black. On the underparts, the underwing coverts are white. The bill is blue-grey. The eyes are dark brown. Legs and feet are dark grey. #SubSaharanAfricanBirdsSeria #WhiteWingedWidowbirdsSeria #WidowbirdsSeria #SouthAfricanBirdsSeria #SouthAfricanAnimalsSeria #SouthAfricanWidowbirdsSeria #AfricanBirdsSeria #AfricanAnimalsSeria #AfricanWidowbirdsSeria #BirdsSeria #BlackbirdsSeria #BlackAnimalsSeria #15JanuarySeria #15January2018Seria #2018JanuarySeria #2018MondaySeria #MondayJanuarySeria #MondaySeria (African Love Bird Society)
