African crimson-winged finch brown breast and flank markings on Asian birds are more extensive than on African birds; and African birds have less black on the crown than Asian birds (on males it often tends to be restricted to the forecrown). Male birds also differ compared to the Asian birds in that they lack the extensive pink in their uppertail-coverts, no black spots on their breast-sides; less distinct black markings on the mantle and ear-coverts and almost no red on the face. African crimson-winged finch The African crimson-winged finch ("Rhodopechys alienus"), is a pale-colored thickset finch with a heavy, dull yellowish bill. It
Metacresol purple CO dissolves as CO is acidic. In chemistry, it has two useful indicator ranges: Metacresol purple Metacresol purple or m"-cresol purple, also called m"-cresolsulfonphthalein is a triarylmethane dye and a pH indicator that is used in medicine to detect end-tidal carbon dioxide to ensure successful tracheal intubation in an emergency as the indicator inside a colorimetric carbon dioxide detector. It can be used to measure the pH in subzero temperatures of saline or hypersaline media. In colometric capnography the indicator is incorporated in a matrix that provides a pH just above the indicator's colour change, it undergoes the colour change
