The Brown Bullfinch is a distinctively large-headed finch with a stout bill. Its plumage is predominantly dull brown, lacking the bright colors of some other bullfinches.

Where to spot

Found in mountainous regions of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, including India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, China, and Vietnam. It inhabits montane forests, often near bamboo and rhododendrons.

How to spot

Scan dense forest undergrowth and canopy. Look for their characteristic stout bill. Listen for their soft, piping calls, which are often the best way to locate them.

When to spot

Visible year-round in its resident range. More active during the breeding season (spring/summer), but generally a shy and elusive bird.
