The chestnut munia (Lonchura atricapilla), also called the black-headed nun, southern black-headed munia and black-headed munia, is a small bird of the Estrildidae family.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This munia bird is mostly chestnut with a black head. They were previously recognized as conspecific and close relatives of Tricolor munia, but now they are widely accepted as a separate species. The birds in this family are called estrildid finches. Chestnut munias were the national bird of the Philippines before 1995. In the Philippines, they are called mayang pula which translates to 'red maya', referring to their brick red patch on their lower back visible only in flight. This red patch is also a distinguishing feature from other birds in urban areas.
