Why it matters
The Black Bishop, or *Euplectes gierowii*, is a striking weaver bird notable for the dramatic plumage transformation the males undergo during the breeding season. Its pointed wings and notched tail are key features of its anatomy, traits that help collectors and ornithologists distinguish this species from other members of the bishop family within its native African habitat.
