Emberiza flaviventris
I need help with this beauty,I found this nest hi in a tree, looks like mom is breeding but I have not sees any bird around here with those stripes on there heads, the closest I could find is a African Pied Wagtail, but the nest does not fit, please help with the ID, I watched all day but did not see this secretive bird leave her nest or return to it.
Thank you all for the comments and AshleyT for the suggestion I think you are right but will keep a keen eye on that nest, it is a way of from my home
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this

Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
I think you are correct , it seems like a Golden Breasted Bunting Ashley ! :) Sorry for my dumb earlier comment about the brooding parasite :) The nest seems similar too !
See what you think about Golden-breasted Bunting, Emberiza flaviventris. Closest I could find in my field guide.
Could it be a brooding parasite ! Since it was not around and didn't see it after ... ?
