Synonyms: Cynchramus pallasi (homotypic); Schoeniclus pallasi

Wikipedia Abstract

The Pallas's reed bunting (Emberiza pallasi) (also known as Pallas's bunting) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae. It breeds across northern and central Asia across to Mongolia. It is a migrant, which winters in south east Asia. It is a very rare vagrant to western Europe, but has occurred as far west as Great Britain. It is common in tundra scrub by water, and also breeds in drier open areas such as open larch forest. The song of the male is a repetitive sherp.
