MEET THE GrEEN-BaCKED TWiNSPOT

The green-backed twinspot or green twinspot (Mandingoa nitidula), is an estrildid finch found in many parts of Sub-Saharan africa. a very cute, small chunky bird, with dark green plumage and white “twin spots” across his black Beɩɩу. The male has a bright red patch on his face as well as on the tip of his beak.

The female is similar to the male, though she does have yellow patches on her face as opposed to the male’s red.

Juveniles lack the face color and twinspot flecks the adults have.
