Spotted
The Red-mantled Rosefinch is a vibrant finch found in high-altitude regions of Central Asia and the Himalayas. Males are characterized by a reddish head and breast, contrasting with a streaky brown back and a prominent red rump.
Where to spot
Found in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, from Afghanistan east through the Himalayas (northern India, Nepal, Bhutan) into western China. It inhabits alpine meadows, scrub, and coniferous forests, typically at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for this finch in high-altitude scrub, rocky slopes, or forest edges. The male's reddish mantle, head, and rump are key. Listen for its distinctive, often loud, whistling song and various call notes.
When to spot
A year-round resident, but often makes altitudinal movements, descending to lower elevations in winter. Best observed during the breeding season (summer) when males are singing and conspicuous.
