Spotted
This medium-sized bunting is known for the breeding male's grey head with a subtle dark 'face mask' around the eyes and lores, and streaked brown body plumage. Females are duller with less distinct facial patterns.
Where to spot
Breeds across Northeast Asia, including Siberia, Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan. Winters mainly in East and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for it in open woodlands, scrub, and forest edges, often near water sources. Males' grey heads and subtle dark mask are good identification marks. Listen for its characteristic whistled song, which can be quite distinctive.
When to spot
Breeding season is May-July. Migration periods are April-May and September-October. Can be seen in wintering grounds from October-March.

The Black-faced Bunting's song is a distinct, often melancholic, series of whistles, which differentiates it from the often more rapid or buzzing songs of other buntings in its range.
