The chestnut munia (''Lonchura atricapilla'') (formerly considered as a subspecies of the tricoloured munia ''Lonchura malacca atricapilla''), also known as black-headed munia, is a small passerine bird. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Hawaii. Before 1995, it was the national bird of the Philippines, where it is known as ''mayang pula'' ("red maya") because of its brick red patch on the lower back which is visible only when it flies. (This distinguishes it from other birds locally called ''maya'', notably the predominantly brownish "mayang simbahan" (tree sparrow)〔http://ebonph.wordpress.com/2013/07/03/10-most-common-urban-birds/〕 which is more common in urban areas.) ==Subspecies== The chestnut munia has several subspecies that are recognized as followed: * ''Lonchura atricapilla atricapilla'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla rubroniger'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla sinensis'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla formosana'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla deignani'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla brunneiceps'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla jagori'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla selimbauensis'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla obscura'' * ''Lonchura atricapilla batakana'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chestnut munia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
