Eastern Crimson-winged or African Crimson-winged Finch

Rhodopechys [sanguineus or alienus] (= Rhodopechys sanguineus) (Gould, J 1838)

The Asian crimson-winged finch is a pale-colored thickset finch with a heavy, dull yellowish bill. It is found from Turkey to NE Pakistan. The African crimson-winged finch was formerly considered conspecific and together known as the crimson-winged finch. It has an average length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) and a wingspan of ca. 32 centimetres (13 in). It is light brown overall, with a whitish mid-belly, a black cap and a pinkish pattern on the wings and tail. The female is slightly duller than the male. Source: Wikipedia
