Still in bed I opened my curtain and saw this red bishop/weaver.

The southern red bishop or red bishop (Euplectes orix) is a small passerine bird belonging to the bishop and widowbird genus Euplectes in the weaver family, the Ploceidae.
It often roosts in mixed flocks with other members of the weaver family.
