About These Birds

Black-headed Bunting

The Black-headed Bunting is a medium-sized bunting; breeding males are brilliantly colored with a jet-black head, chestnut back, and bright yellow underparts, while females are more cryptically brown. It breeds in open scrublands, farmland, and steppe from southeastern Europe through the Middle East to central Asia, migrating to the Indian subcontinent in winter. It feeds on seeds, grain, and insects.

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.
