Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Ploceidae > Ploceus > Ploceus baglafechtPloceus baglafecht (Baglafecht Weaver)The baglafecht weaver (Ploceus baglafecht), also known as Reichenow's weaver is a species of weaver bird from the family Ploceidae which is found in eastern and central Africa. The origin of the word baglafecht is something of a mystery and was coined by Buffon, probably from a local name in an Abyssinian language. |
