One of the 3 Lifers I got on our short trip to Dubai :)

The Indian Silverbill has also other names: White-throated Munia, White-throated Silverbill or Warbling Silverbill as well as Euodice malabarica

In the Collins he’s listed as an escapee (like the Parakeets). Not sure if he’s a resident to Dubai or just a migrant (I guess a migrant).

There’s a good Birding website for Dubai (they offer guided tours as well), but I am missing the detailed Info AR Al-Sirhan provides for Kuwait (it’s a lot of work, I know :) ).

Some Info can be found on Opus over at Birdforum (with a link at the bottom of the page to more photos of this fellow).
