Ploceus philippinus
The Baya Weaver bird is a sparrow sized bird known best for its long hanging woven nests. In the non-breeding plumage, the male and female resemble the common house sparrow. In breeding season though, the male is completely transformed. It acquires a bright yellow cap and a blackish brown face-mask. The bill is also transformed from a horny colour to black.
