The Crimson-browed Finch is a distinctive rosefinch with a prominent crimson supercilium in males. Its overall plumage is a rich rosy-red, while females are streaked olive-brown.
Where to spot
Found in the eastern Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. It inhabits high-altitude temperate and subalpine forests, often near rhododendron thickets.
How to spot
Look for them foraging in the canopy or dense undergrowth of montane forests. The male's crimson brow is a clear field mark. Listen for their loud, clear calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range. Activity is highest during the breeding season in spring and summer, when males are vocal and more conspicuous.
