The Abyssinian waxbill (Estrilda ochrogaster) is a species of estrildid finch found in southeast Sudan and Ethiopia.
This species was formally described in 1897 by the Italian zoologist Tommaso Salvadori under the binomial name Estrilda ochrogaster.[1] The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek ōkhros meaning "yellow-ochre" or "pale yellow" with gastēr meaning "belly".[2] The type locality is "Northern Abyssinia", now Eritrea.[3] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[4]
The Abyssinian waxbill is sometimes considered as a subspecies of the fawn-breasted waxbill (Estrilda paludicola).[5][6]
