The village indigobird (Vidua chalybeata), also known as the steelblue widowfinch or (in U.S. aviculture) the Combassou finch, is a small songbird belonging to the family Viduidae.

The nestling indigobirds mimic the unique gape pattern of the fledglings of the host species.

The adult male is entirely greenish-black or bluish-black except for his orange-red legs and conical white bill.

Many of the indigobirds are very similar in appearance, with the males difficult to separate in the field, and the young and females near impossible.

Helpful pointers with the village indigobird are the association with its host species, the red-billed firefinch, and its presence near human habitation.
