A photo at night to compare to the daytime shot, posted earlier; it seems to be a different bird; quite straightforward for a Tyto

'Victoria' Masked Weaver, Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi August 2015
Nik Borrow
The identity of the masked weavers that are increasingly being found in the swamps of Uganda is still a mystery waiting to be solved. Bearing a superficial resemblance to Northern Masked Weaver they are presumably the population originally described by John Ash as Victoria (or Entebbe) Masked Weaver that was later dismissed as a hybrid. Only one problem there are colonies of these hybrids! another problem is that they seem to show variable black masks and eye colour ranging from grey to brown. Somebody needs to get some DNA work done on these!
