Least Concern

The White-rumped Munia is a small seed-eating munia of Old World grasslands, wetlands, savannas, and island scrub. It moves through grasses, reeds, scrub, farmland, or open woodland in pairs and flocks, taking grass seeds and small insects. Many estrildids build domed grass nests and give soft contact calls.
