Rufous-tailed Weaver (Histurgops ruficauda)
About the Rufous-tailed Weaver
The rufous-tailed weaver (Histurgops ruficauda) is a species of songbird found in Tanzania. It is included in the weaver family (Ploceidae), but many authors included it in the Old World sparrow family Passeridae when Old World sparrows were separated from the weavers proper. It is placed in the monotypic genus Histurgops. It is an endemic breeder in Tanzania, but vagrants occur in Kenya too.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 22 recordings for this species: 12 CC BY-NC-SA · 10 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
