The Spot-winged Rosefinch is a medium-sized finch named for the distinctive white spots on its wing coverts. Males display a beautiful rosy-red plumage, while females are streaky brown.
Where to spot
Distributed throughout the Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia, including northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China. They prefer subalpine and alpine scrub, rocky areas, and open conifer forests.
How to spot
Look for them foraging on the ground or perched on low branches. Pay attention to the wing pattern, especially the white spots, which are a key identifier. Listen for their distinct, often quiet calls.
When to spot
Generally present year-round in their high-altitude breeding grounds. During harsh winters, they may descend to lower valleys, making them more accessible.

These rosefinches are often found near streams and damp areas in their mountainous habitats, as they require water for drinking and bathing.
