Media notes
A male perched on a branch. Published in HBW Volume 15 on page 453. Original HBW caption: Differing from all other finches and buntings (Emberizidae) in the possession of a tenth primary, Przevalski’s Rosefinch may belong in its own monotypic family, Urocynchramidae. It is similar in size, some plumage features, and its disproportionately long tail, to the Long-tailed Rosefinch (Uragus sibiricus). But in its bill structure, horny palate and song, it resembles the Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus), and it has sometimes been classed as a bunting. Mitochondrial- DNA analysis suggests that Przevalski’s Rosefinch is a relict member of a lineage that is as old as, or older than, other families of finches. Original IBC location name and coordinates: Qinghai (35.6394,96.7346). Elevation: 4411 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
