Spotted
The Pink-browed Rosefinch is a small, vibrant finch characterized by the male's prominent pink supercilium and rosy plumage. Females are duller, with streaked brown upperparts.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayan range, from Afghanistan eastward through India, Nepal, Bhutan, and into China. They inhabit high-altitude scrub, open coniferous forests, and rocky slopes.
How to spot
Look for individuals or small groups foraging on the ground or in low bushes. Their soft, musical calls can help in detection. Binoculars are useful for appreciating their subtle plumage details.
When to spot
Visible year-round within its range, though easier to spot during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males display. In winter, they may move to slightly lower elevations.

This species often forages on the ground, using its strong bill to crack open seeds, its primary food source in its often harsh mountain environments.
