Asian Rosy Finch (Leucosticte arctoa)
About the Asian Rosy Finch
The Asian rosy finch or Asian rosy-finch (Leucosticte arctoa) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It breeds in Mongolia and the East Palearctic; it winters in Manchuria, Korea, Sakhalin and Japan. Its natural habitats are tundra and temperate grassland. Genetic studies show that the species is very closely related to the three American species Gray-crowned rosy finch, Black rosy finch, and Brown-capped rosy finch; the four of them were treated often as conspecific. L. a. arctoa – Russian Altai L. a. brunneonucha – Mountains of East Siberia (Lena River to Kamchatka and Kuril Islands) L. a. cognata – Sayan Mountains and adjacent mountains on Russia-Mongolia border L. a. gigliolii – Mountains north of Lake Baikal (east to Yablonovy mountains) L. a. sushkini – Northern Mongolia (Khangai region).
