Red-cheeked Cordonbleu (Uraeginthus bengalus ugogoensis) - 3 July 2013. Tarangire National Park, Manyara Region, Tanzania.

This is a male. The species is more widespread than the Blue-capped Cordonbleu, but much less common in this area. I believe the other birds are female Blue-capped Cordonbleu. Digiscoped with Panasonic DMC-LX5 | Nikon FieldScope III | 30XWA | hand-held (no adapter).
