The Red-headed Bullfinch is a distinctive finch named for the male's vibrant red head and chest. Females are duller, with a brownish head and muted colors.
Where to spot
Distributed across the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. It prefers subalpine and temperate forests, often near rhododendron or bamboo.
How to spot
Look for them in dense forest cover or at the edge of clearings. The male's red head is unmistakable. Listen for their characteristic soft, piping calls.
When to spot
Present year-round in its mountainous habitat, with some altitudinal migration in winter. Breeding is in late spring to summer.

Like other bullfinches, they have a powerful, short, and stout bill perfectly adapted for crushing seeds and buds.
