The yellow bishop (Euplectes capensis) is black apart from his bright yellow lower back, rump, and shoulder patches, and brown edging to the wing feathers. This common weaver is also known as the Cape bishop, Cape widow, or yellow-rumped widow. It occurs in less arid vegetated areas, such as fynbos, moist grassland and bracken-covered valleys in much of eastern and southern Africa south of the Sahara Desert.
