Photographed in a state of mild panic, as your truly was trying to figure out what was wrong with his new Canon digital camera [Answer: nothing but his brain], the dedicated Serinus RMAF work area at the Marriott is pictured in its characteristically unglorious state.

NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Serinus (594 words)
The genus Serinus is a large genus of birds in the finch family Fringillidae.
Further study of the various species of finches in the 1800’s placed this species in the genus Serinus, and the scientific name was changed to Serinus leucopygius, and that remains the current scientific name for this species.
Serinus leucopygius pallens is found from Niger to northern Nigeria, and Serinus leucopygius riggenbachi is found from Senegal to western Sudan.
