Crimson-rumped Waxbill

Crimson-rumped Waxbill

Based on ebird website - https://ebird.org/species/crrwax1, this bird was introduced to Singapore from Japan. 
However, it is still rare to spot it. So far, I have only spotted it at Coney Island, now at Changi Bay Point.

We can tell them apart from common waxbill by the crimson coloured wings.

They feast on grass seeds, just like munias.

A very challenging bird to capture a good picture cause it never stop swinging and eating on the branch of the grass.

Was able to identify the crimson-rumped from its red colour on its wing and near tail.
