    Great composition! :)
    But this more like a white rumped Munia to me, and not a black headed! I could be wrong though.     Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

The White-rumped munia

The white-rumped munia or white-rumped mannikin, sometimes called striated finch in aviculture, is a small passerine bird from the family of waxbill "finches". These are not close relatives of the true finches or true sparrows.
