The scaly-breasted munia, also known as the spotted munia (Lonchura punctulata), goes by the names nutmeg mannikin or spice finch in the pet trade. This sparrow-sized estrildid finch is indigenous to tropical Asia and belongs to the Lonchura genus. Carl Linnaeus formally described and named it in 1758, and its name stems from the distinct scale-like feather patterns on its breast and belly. The adult munia is brown on its upper side and sports a dark conical bill. There are 11 subspecies of this bird distributed across its range, each differing slightly in size and coloration.

In terms of diet, this munia primarily consumes grass seeds but also dabbles in berries and small insects. They tend to forage in groups and use soft calls and whistles for communication. These birds exhibit high social behavior and occasionally roost alongside other munia species. Scaly-breasted munias can be found in tropical plains and grasslands. When it comes to nesting, breeding pairs fashion dome-shaped nests using grass or bamboo leaves.

Endemic to Asia, this species is found from India and Sri Lanka to as far east as Indonesia and the Philippines (where it goes by the name mayang pakíng). It has been introduced to various other parts of the world, establishing feral populations in locations like Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, parts of Australia, and the United States of America. A significant population exists in Southern California. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies this bird as of "least concern."

The scaly-breasted munia measures about 11–12 centimeters (4.3–4.7 inches) in length and weighs between 12–16 grams (0.026–0.035 pounds). Adult munias have a stout, dark bill typical of grain-eating birds, brown upperparts, and a dark brown head. Their underparts are white with dark scale-like markings. While males and females look similar, males have darker markings on the underside and a darker throat compared to females.

Immature munias possess pale brown upperparts, lack the dark head found in adults, and exhibit uniformly buff underparts, which can sometimes be confused with juveniles of other munia species, such as the tricolored munia (Lonchura malacca) found across Asian and island populations, and the black-throated munia (Lonchura kelaarti) in certain regions of India or Sri Lanka.
