Painted Firetail

Emblema pictum Gould, J 1842

The painted finch is a common species of estrildid finch found in Australia. The painted finch acquired its name due to the red and white spotted and mottled underparts of both males and females. The Latin name comes from emblema meaning mosaic or inlaid work; and pictum was derived from the Latin work pictus, meaning painted. Other names include Emblema finch, Mountain finch, Painted firetail and Emblema. The painted finch is a popular bird to be kept in captivity and in backyard aviaries. Source: Wikipedia
