Striated Bunting

Emberiza striolata

The Striated Bunting (Emberiza striolata) is a small passerine bird found in open woodland, scrub, and grassland habitats across parts of Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive streaked plumage, with brown and buff tones on the upperparts and a pale underbelly. This species is known for its melodious song, often heard during the breeding season. Striated Buntings forage for seeds and insects on the ground, using their sharp bills to extract food from the soil and vegetation. While their populations are generally stable, habitat loss and degradation pose potential threats to their long-term survival.

Habitat: Open woodland, scrub, grassland
