Spotted
Hume's Wheatear is a rather plain, medium-sized wheatear, characterized by its pale sandy-grey plumage and black tail with a white rump. It is named after the British ornithologist Allan Octavian Hume.
Where to spot
Found in Central Asia, including parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, inhabiting arid and semi-arid stony plains, desert, and rocky foothills.
How to spot
Search in open, stony desert and semi-desert areas. Look for it on the ground or perched on low rocks. Its relatively plain plumage means paying attention to its jizz and tail pattern (white rump, black tail).
When to spot
Year-round resident in much of its range, though some populations may undertake local or altitudinal movements. Active throughout the day.

This wheatear is a highly terrestrial species, spending most of its time foraging on the ground, blending well with the arid desert and steppe environments.
