Sharpe's Rosefinch
Carpodacus verreauxii
Uncommon medium-sized rosefinch. Male is dark wine pink above and frosty bubblegum pink below, with strikingly pale white eyebrows. Female is gray-brown with streaked underparts and long pale eyebrows; similar to female Chinese White-browed Rosefinch, but note overall buffier coloration, paler streaking, less prominent stripes on the cheeks, and lack of tan-yellow in the eyebrow and near the vent. Sharpe’s breeds in open alpine areas with scrubby cover such as forest edge; moves downslope in the winter. Call is a sharp inflected “pink.”

保护状况
Not globally threatened (Least Concern). Very poorly known, but appears to be generally scarce to rare in most of its range. Perhaps uncommon in NE Yunnan. Uncommon in NE Myanmar, where possibly only a non-breeding visitor; fieldwork required in order to ascertain this species' true status in that country. It is not known to be subject to any significant threats.

White-rumped Sirystes
Sirystes albocinereus
Distinctive black, gray, and white flycatcher of rainforest midstory and canopy. Medium-sized flycatcher with a small bushy crest; white underneath, gray above with a black head, wings, and tail. Found in mature rainforest and forest edges, especially around water. Its calls are quiet but make them much easier to find; listen for a musical “pew, pip.”
Yellow-bellied Seedeater
Sporophila nigricollis
Male is a fairly distinctive seedeater with yellow belly (sometimes very pale), dark breast and face, and brownish-olive back. Often shows some smudgy dark marks down the flanks. Bill is pale silvery. Female seedeaters are extremely difficult to identify; Yellow-bellied tends to look warmer with yellowish tones on underparts, but many are best left unidentified unless accompanied by a male. Most often found in flocks or pairs in open grassy habitats, sometimes near the edge of forest but also in agricultural areas.
Vegetarian Finch
Platyspiza crassirostris
A large and rather parrot-billed Galápagos finch. Bill is about as long as it is deep, with a very round upper edge and slightly curved lower edge. Male has a black hood and bill, a sooty back, and a yellowish belly with dark streaks. Female is tan with a pale bill, a whitish or yellowish belly, and brown streaks on the underparts. Very similar to Large Tree-Finch, which is smaller and smaller-billed. Most likely to be encountered in forest at middle elevations on the larger islands. Not present on the islands of Española, Genovesa, and Santa Fé.
