Black-breasted Weaver

Ploceus benghalensis (Linnaeus, C 1758)

The black-breasted weaver, also known as the Bengal weaver or black-throated weaver, is a weaver resident in the northern river plains of the Indian subcontinent. Like the other weavers, the males build an enclosed nest from reeds and mud, and visiting females select a mate at least partially based on the quality of the nest. Source: Wikipedia
