Description
The crimson-browed finch (Carpodacus subhimachalus) is a true finch species (family Fringillidae). It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate shrubland. This is a large finch with a large short bill. The male has a crimson red head and throat. The female has a yellow head and throat. The species was described by the British naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1836 under the binomial name Corythus subhimachalus. The species name subhimachalus combines the Latin sub meaning 'beneath' and the Hindi word himachal meaning snow. The crimson-browed finch was formerly placed in the genus Pinicola but was moved to the rosefinch genus Carpodacus based on the results from the phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences.

Feeding Habits
Crimson-browed Finch predominantly consumes seeds, flowers, and berries from a variety of plants such as pines, viburnums, barberries, roses, and crab apples. Crimson-browed Finch forages at different heights in vegetation and is reclusive and slow-moving. It tends to feed alone or in pairs, sometimes forming small flocks during the non-breeding season.
Habitat
Crimson-browed Finch typically resides in montane and submontane habitats characterized by dense vegetation such as juniper and dwarf rhododendron scrub, often found at or above the natural tree-line. The species favors areas with a presence of dwarf willows and a mix of scattered conifers and junipers. During the non-breeding season, crimson-browed Finch occupies similar environments at somewhat lower altitudes, including areas with thick undergrowth in deciduous forests and those dominated by fir trees.
