White capped munia? I checked birds of the world. Clearly not native to Santa Monica.

Hi Folks - Im visiting my parents/childhood home in Santa Monica and we’re seeing something shaped like a Lonchura, Tri-colored Munia . . . EXCEPT!!! it has a BRIGHT WHITE CAP.

Any ideas? I have experience with these birds in the wild (India).

Hope you all are well! Best birding,

Rob
