| Bird Family : | Emberizini - Buntings & Allies |
| Bird Group : | PASSERIFORMES |
| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | A "first year" female-type. (Although considered as Red-headed Bunting Emberiza bruniceps in the field, the images reveal obvious rufous tones to the scapulars, and streaking carrying onto the forehead, both apparently strongly pro-Black-headed features). This individual apparently lacked the yellow tone to the rump on a female seen briefly in flight on the 5th. - NM |
