The crimson-browed finch is a large true finch with a large, short bill, found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar and Nepal. The male has a crimson-red head and throat, and the female a yellow head and throat. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate shrubland (Wikipedia, general species account).
The species name combines the Latin 'sub', beneath, and the Hindi 'himachal', snow. It was formerly placed in the genus Pinicola but moved to the rosefinch genus Carpodacus on the results of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses.
