Capucin damier

One of the most widespread estrildid finches in Asia, scaly-breasted munias are named for the fish-scale-like pattern of brown and white streaks on their breast. They inhabit grasslands, rice fields, and scrub from India east through Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Indonesia, and have established feral populations in many parts of the world including Hawaii, Florida, and Australia. Highly gregarious, they form flocks of hundreds feeding on grass seeds and rice grains.
