Chinese White-browed Rosefinch (Carpodacus dubius)
About the Chinese White-browed Rosefinch
The Chinese white-browed rosefinch (Carpodacus dubius) is a true finch species (family Fringillidae). It is found in central China and eastern Tibet. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate shrubland. This species was at one time considered as a subspecies of the Himalayan white-browed rosefinch (Carpodacus thura) but was up-ranked to species status. This was supported by a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences. The Chinese white-browed rosefinch has an average size between 9 and 25 cm in length. The male has a face and underside bright pink. The female is brown streaked all over with paler underparts. The beak is short and conical.

None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
