Mongolian Finch

The Mongolian, or Mongolian trumpeter, finch is a small finch with a large head and a short, thick greyish-yellow bill. In breeding plumage males have a pink flush to the face and underparts, with extensive white and pink areas in the wings, a pattern also present but less marked in non-breeding plumage (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is fairly quiet outside the breeding season, with various rising nasal notes and chirrups, its songs a jumbled series of these notes, and it favours mountainous stony desert or semi-arid scrub and rocky slopes for breeding (Wikipedia, general species account).
