In northwestern Namibia, Cinderella Waxbill records come from the Kunene and Ondoto river areas.
It is pale gray, with a thin black line extending from the lores behind the eye. The flight feathers are gray-brown, the flanks have shades of red, and the lower belly is black.
In northwestern Namibia it lives in mopane and river-fringing woodland. It moves through the canopy for seeds and nectar and sometimes visits wells or shallow waterholes dug by mammals.
