quelea

/ˈkwiːlɪə

noun

A brownish weaver bird found in Africa, the male of which has either a black face or a red head. Also called dioch.

The ngosha (Quelea quelea) is a small but very numerous granivorous bird that sweeps over the sky in flocks like small clouds and descends on grain fields to feast....

Origin

Modern Latin, perhaps from medieval Latin qualea 'quail'.
