Spotted
The Long-tailed Rosefinch is a distinctive species named for its notably long tail, especially prominent in males. Males are largely rosy-red with a reddish-brown back, while females are streaked brown.
Where to spot
Distributed across eastern Asia, including Russia, Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan. It favors deciduous or mixed forests, often in riparian zones or dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for them in forest clearings or at the edges of dense woodland. The long tail is a key identification feature. Listen for their soft, melancholy calls or trills.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Breeding activity and singing are highest in spring and summer. They may be easier to spot in winter when foliage is sparse.

This species is unusual among rosefinches for its preference for broadleaf and mixed forests, often near water, rather than solely high-altitude scrub.
