Cinnyris mariquensis
this is the female of a pair of Marico Sunbirds playing host to a Diderick Cuckoo. She is a drab grey brown with a contrasting white eye stripe
well wooded, large garden in a semi arid tree/bush savannah area
Sunbirds are not the primary hosts chosen by Diderick Cuckoos, they normally go for Weaver bird nests
