Spotted
The Black-and-yellow Grosbeak is a robust and striking finch, known for the male's glossy black upperparts contrasting with bright yellow underparts. It is found in montane forests and woodlands of the Himalayas.
Where to spot
Found in the Himalayan region, ranging from northern Pakistan across northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, and into southwestern China and northern Myanmar. It prefers broadleaf and conifer forests, particularly at higher altitudes.
How to spot
Look for this large, heavy-billed finch in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Its bold black and yellow pattern is distinct. Listen for its strong, whistling calls, which can carry well through the forest.
When to spot
A year-round resident, but often moves to lower elevations in winter. Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males are more vocal and conspicuous.

Despite its striking coloration, this grosbeak can be surprisingly elusive, often foraging quietly in the dense canopy of temperate forests.
