The streaked weaver is a weaverbird of South and Southeast Asia, found in countries from Pakistan and India east to China and Indonesia, and also introduced in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. It is less common than the baya weaver and looks similar, but has streaked underparts. It nests in small colonies, often in reed beds near water (Wikipedia, general species account).
Nationally Near Threatened (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012).
