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.
This species is notable for its very deep, stout bill, which is adapted for cracking open the tough seeds of its preferred food plants.
