Compact Weaver © oiseaux.net

Vagrant to Zambia.

Often placed in genus Ploceus, and then aligned with Asian Asian Golden Weaver (Ploceus hypoxanthus), but may be closer to other weaver genera. Peculiar nest construction shared only with Grosbeak Weaver (Amblyospiza albifrons), and has been suggested that the two are congeneric. DNA studies reveal that Amblyospiza differs from other ploceines at approximately tribal level, and present species possibly closest to that.
