Yellow-rumped Munia

The Yellow-rumped Munia (*Lonchura flaviprymna*), also known as the Yellow-rumped Mannikin, is a small native finch of northern Australia. Found mainly in the eastern Kimberley region and north-west Northern Territory, this species is adapted to grasslands, wetlands, and moist savannas, where it is often seen in dense stands of tall grasses near swamps and lakes. Despite its subtle colouring compared to other Australian finches, its pale hood and yellow rump make it a distinctive and attractive bird in its preferred habitats.
