Yellow-rumped Mannikin

Lonchura flaviprymna

The Yellow-rumped Mannikin, also known as the Yellow-rumped Munia, is a charming species of estrildid finch. It is adorned with a distinctive yellow patch on its rump, a feature that is not only a delight to observe but also serves as a key identification marker.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this small finch, look for the characteristic yellow rump that stands out against its otherwise modest plumage. The bird's overall coloration is subtle, yet upon closer inspection, one may notice the fine details that make it unique.

Habitat

This species thrives in a variety of environments ranging from subtropical to tropical locales. It has a particular affinity for mangrove ecosystems, moist savannas, and wetlands, where it can be seen flitting about in search of sustenance.

Distribution

The Yellow-rumped Mannikin is a bird of the Australian continent, with its presence predominantly noted in the eastern Kimberley region and the north-western part of the Northern Territory. It enjoys a relatively broad range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence between 20,000 and 50,000 km².

Conservation Status

Bird enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the Yellow-rumped Mannikin is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. This status reflects the bird's stable population and the absence of significant threats to its survival at this time.
