Scientific name is Euplectes franciscanus

They are an African bird that has established feral colonies in North American.

There was a small flock of 15-20 birds at the Madrona Marsh. Also at the marsh was a rather decent sized flock of Nutmeg Mannikins, another exotic that has several feral colonies in Southern California.
