About These Birds
Black-faced Bunting
The Black-faced Bunting is a small, compact bunting; breeding males have an olive-gray head, black lores, and yellowish underparts, while females are more streaked and cryptic. It breeds in forest edges, riverine thickets, and shrubby areas across central and eastern Asia, wintering in southern and Southeast Asia. It feeds on grass seeds and small insects, often foraging in flocks during migration.
