The Black Mannikin is a small, uniform dark-brown to blackish grassfinch with a pale gray bill and a slightly paler rump. It inhabits tall grasslands, reed beds, and adjacent scrubland in the lowlands of southern New Guinea. It feeds almost exclusively on small grass seeds, often foraging in small flocks near the ground.
