Exclamatory Paradise Whydah, Vidua interjecta, is a bird of the Sudanian savanna from Senegal and Gambia east to Ethiopia. It belongs to the family Viduidae and was described by Grote in 1922. It is also known as the Uelle paradise whydah. The species is set apart from the long-tailed paradise whydah by the male’s slightly shorter, broader tail and an orange-toned nape, while the female has a pink bill. It is also close to the Sahel paradise whydah, with the male showing a longer tail and the female again having a pink bill.
