Colorful Wee Beauty (Amandava amandava)

I was taking a late evening walk on a rough small metaled road passing through an open scrub on city outskirts when I found small group of birds foraging on the road. After many attempts when I succeeded in getting close enough I was pleasantly surprised to see these very colorful wee beauties. Managed to get a few shots in the fast fading light. At 10 cm, they are much smaller than sparrows. A first for me.
