There are six Pipits in Lonchura sp, and I have only photographed three of them.
(another 3 in my wanted list are: (i) Black-headed Munia/Chesnut Munia (Lonchura malacca) -seen at Kemensah but no photo, (ii) White-bellied Munia (Lonchura lucogastra), and (iii) Dusky Munia (Lonchura fuscans) - only in Sabah & Sarawak (endemic)
(1) Pipit Pinang - Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata)
the Juvenile Pipit Pinang
(2) Pipit Tuli - White-rumped Munia (Lonchura striata)
(3) Pipit Uban - White-headed Munia (Lonchura maja)
the Juvenile Pipit Uban
The is the only Pipit that has an English name- Paddyfield Pipit (Anthus rufulus) - but Malay called it Ciak Bendang
CIAK
This is what Malay called Ciak Rumah - Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus)
This is another CIAK - Ciak Tempua - Baya Weaver (Ploceus philippinus)

love the White-rumped Munia.
I see my buddy, the paddy field pipit.
The first bibit looks more handsome than others.
The sparrow is always pit-pit-pit outside my house.
