White-rumped Munia

Heteromunia pectoralis

The White-rumped Munia, scientifically known as Heteromunia pectoralis, is a small passerine bird found in Southeast Asia. This species is characterized by its distinctive white rump and chestnut-brown upperparts. The underparts are pale with a black bill and a short, conical shape. White-rumped Munias are often found in open grasslands, cultivated areas, and marshes, where they forage for seeds and small insects. They are known for their social behavior, often forming large flocks during the non-breeding season. The species is generally considered to be of least concern, with stable populations across its range.
