Chestnut Munia, (Lonchura atricapilla) by Paolo Dolina, on Flickr

A small, plump reddish brown finch with a black head and thick silvery-blue bill. Immatures are plain sandy brown with slightly darker wings. Often seen in flocks, usually in grassy areas, including lawns, but also marshes and rice paddies; prefers wetter areas than Scaly-breasted Munia. Gives soft pipping and clinking notes; song includes quiet slurred whistles and bill clicks. Native to southeastern Asia, but introduced to numerous areas including the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Ecuador, and Jamaica.

The bird’s rust plum age goes well with the sienna colored flowers. I realize that a lot of your pictures would make great color sets for a fashion photograph!
