के बारे में

The Black-faced Munia is a small, compact grassfinch with a black face, brown upperparts, and pale buff underparts; the black facial coloring contrasts sharply with its pale bill. It is found in open grasslands, rice paddies, and scrublands of the Moluccas and Sulawesi in Indonesia. It feeds almost exclusively on grass seeds and rice, often in large foraging flocks.
