The white-headed buffalo weaver or white-faced buffalo-weaver (Dinemellia dinemelli) is a species of passerine bird in the family Ploceidae native to East Africa.

[3] In addition to its white head and underparts, the white-headed buffalo weaver has a vividly orange-red rump and undertail coverts.

[6] The white-headed buffalo weaver is native to the African countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.

[3][5][1] Like most weavers, it is a gregarious bird which forages on the ground for insects, especially beetles and butterflies, fruits, and seeds, often in company with starlings.

[7] Males display to females by spreading their wings to show their white wing-patches and red-orange tail-coverts.

[8] The female incubates 3–5 greyish to pale blue eggs with red, brown and olive markings for 11–14 days.
