White-headed Munia in Javanese it is called Emprit Kaji, often called Bondol Haji (Indonesian). I photographed this bird last weekend. Actually there are five or six of them, but I could not shoot the others.
There are aslo many other smaller birds (Munias), but they are not so easy to get closer to. Some other day I am very sure will photograph them. I need a longer lens, I think.

Smallish (11 cm), white headed brown finch. Similar to the chestnut munia but paler brown and entire head and throat white. Young birds are brown on upperparts with underparts and face buff. Iris-brown; bill-grey; feet-pale blue. Voice: high-pitched ‘pee-pee’. Malay peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Bali and Celebes. In Java and Bali this is a fairly common and widespread bird up to 1500 m.
Thank you for your comment. This white headed Munia is actually quite rare now (at least in Java island), unlike the other smaller finches which are still many.
