About the Altai Accentor
The Altai accentor (Prunella himalayana) is a species of bird in the family Prunellidae. It is also known as the rufous-streaked accentor or Himalayan accentor. It breeds in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia; it winters in the southern Tian Shan and Himalayan ranges. The Altai accentor was described by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1842 and given the binomial name Accentor himalayanus. The Altai accentor is now placed in the genus Prunella that was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816. The species is monotypic. This species, along with the alpine accentor, is sometimes separated from the other accentors into the genus Laiscopus.
