Ngorongoro Crater Bird

[beykirch]

That's from last February in Ngorongoro Crater. Can someone help with the ID please. The size of the bird is like a starling.

I have no first-hand experience with African avifauna, but a quick web search seems to show this to be a Rufous-tailed Weaver. Do a Google image search and a number of photos come up, though the vast majority aren't in the same quality category as your great shot.
