Please help to ID the bird

Was it a Chestnut Munia juvenile? Or Scaly-breasted Munia/White-rumped Munia?

Thanks!

i think it is a Scaly Munia, as you can see a few "scale" developing on its flank.

I think juvenile munias are tricky on their own, and easiest to ID by checking out any adults in the area. Having said that, I agree with Kary that this looks like Scaly-breasted.
