Southern Black-headed or White-capped Munia [excl. rubronigra]
Lonchura [atricapilla or ferruginosa, excl. rubronigra] (= Lonchura atricapilla) (Vieillot, LJP 1807)
The chestnut munia or black-headed munia is a small passerine. It was formerly considered conspecific with the closely related tricoloured munia, but is now widely recognized as a separate species. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Hawaii. It also has been introduced to all the Greater Antilles and Martinique in the Caribbean. Source: Wikipedia
