Nice photos. Scaly-brested Munia has also become established enough in Southern California that it is now officially "listable" and in addition a Pin-tailed Whydah, a brood parasite that preferentially lays its eggs in Scaly-breasted Munia nests is also thriving. One invasive species begets another in this case it seems. Good post. Thanks.
