At the exit to Kakum National Park, we came across this male of the Pin-tailed whydah that was foraging on the ground. In Swedish it is named after the Dominican order's black and white robes ("Dominican widow"). The bird is only 12-13 centimeters long, but during the mating season the male gets about 20 centimeters long tail feathers which are used to attract the females. A male courts several females who then lay eggs in nests of Estrildis finches. The species is thus, like all whydahs ('widows'), a polygynous nest parasite.
