Photo of CLOSED: Which Bishop?

I photographed this beautiful little weaver-bird in the walk-in aviary in the Bloedel
Conservatory on Little Mountain in Vancouver back in December 1997.

I have been trying hard to identify it and I am almost certain it is one of the Bishops of the genus Euplectes, but I am unable to pin it down to a species. Can anybody help?

Here is the bird a colourful male and the next picture will show what I believe is a female of the same species,
