Meadow Bunting

The meadow bunting, or Siberian meadow bunting, is 15–16.5 centimetres long. The male is mostly rufous-brown with dark streaks on the back, and the boldly patterned brown head shows white eyebrows, moustachial stripe and throat with grey sides to the neck. The outer tail feathers are white and the legs pinkish-brown. Females are similar but duller and paler, with a less well-defined head pattern. (Wikipedia, general species account)

This bunting of eastern Asia belongs to the genus Emberiza. It breeds in southern Siberia, northern and eastern China, eastern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Korea and Japan. The song is a short, hurried phrase given from a prominent perch, and the call is a series of up to four sharp notes. (Wikipedia, general species account)
