Northern Red Bishop (Euplectes franciscanus)

These small seed-eaters are drab & sparrow-like in plumage for most of the year but for a few months during the rains, male Northern Red Bishops become stunning little show-offs that sit on prominent perches to display their finery to the ladies.

I understand that the Northern Red Bishop is an African bird, yet I have photos of one that's been at my feeder in South Florida.
