The Orange Bullfinch is a spectacularly colored finch, with males sporting brilliant orange and black plumage. Females are more subdued, but still show orange tones.
Where to spot
Found in the Himalayas, including parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan. It inhabits high-altitude conifer and rhododendron forests, often in dense thickets.
How to spot
Scan dense montane forest edges and undergrowth. Their bright colors can make them stand out, especially in good light. Listen for their soft, whistling calls.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range, though it may make altitudinal movements in winter. Breeding season is in spring and summer.
