Padda is a genus of estrildid finches restricted to islands in southern Indonesia.
These are small, plump, gregarious passerine birds. They frequent open grassland and cultivation and feed mainly on grain and other seeds, including rice.
Both species have white-cheeked black heads and thick bills. The sexes are similar, but immature birds have brown upperparts and paler brown underparts and cheeks. The call of both species is a chip, and the song is a raid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.




Taxonomy


The genus Padda was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach for the Java sparrow. The word "Padda" was used as an English name for the Java sparrow by George Edwards in 1743 and may come from the Malay word padi meaning "rice".
