Black-headed Munia

Lonchura atricapilla

Description:

This rare color morph of the Black-headed Munia (locally known as red maya) sticks out like a sore thumb among the rest.

Notes:

During the rainy season, Black-headed Murias love building their nests in the Bucida tree in our yard. For the past 3 years they have been coming to build their nest on the same tree!
