Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Muscicapidae > Oenanthe > Oenanthe finschiiOenanthe finschii (Finsch's Wheatear)Synonyms: Oenanthe finischii; Saxicola finschii (homotypic) Finsch's wheatear (Oenanthe finschii) is a wheatear, a small insectivorous passerine that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family, Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher of the family Muscicapidae. This 15–16 cm long bird breeds in semi-desert and stony hillsides from Turkey east to Afghanistan and western Pakistan. It is a short-distance migrant, wintering in Egypt and the Greater Middle East. It wanders to Cyprus with some frequency. The nest is built in a rock crevice, and 4-5 eggs is the normal clutch. |
