Spotted
The Red-fronted Rosefinch is a chunky, high-altitude finch. Males have a bright red forehead and crown, contrasting with a pinkish-red body. Females are duller, with a brownish head and streaked body.
Where to spot
Widespread in the high mountains of Central Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, Tibet, and China. It lives in alpine meadows, rocky scree, and glacial moraines above the tree line.
How to spot
Scan open, high-altitude slopes and rocky areas. Their distinctive red forehead is a key identifier for males. Watch for them pecking among stones and sparse vegetation.
When to spot
Present year-round in its high-altitude domain. Best observed during summer when conditions are milder, but they are resident and adapted to extreme cold.

This hardy finch is often found foraging on the ground in vast, open alpine landscapes, even in the presence of snow and harsh winds.
