Gosling's bunting

Emberiza goslingi

Gosling's bunting (Emberiza goslingi) is a small passerine bird found in the high-altitude grasslands of central China. It is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a striking black throat and chest band. This bunting is known for its melodious and far-carrying song, often heard during the breeding season. Gosling's buntings forage on the ground for seeds and insects, and they often form small flocks outside the breeding season. Due to habitat loss and degradation, the population of Gosling's bunting is declining, and it is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
