Antpecker
The antpeckers, Parmoptila, are a genus of estrildid finch songbirds that range across the tropical forests of western and central Africa.
This genus has been placed in a number of families; at present it is placed tentatively with the Estrildidae due to similarities in breeding behaviour.
