Carpodacus roseus (Pallas, 1776) |
The Pallas's Rosefinch (Carpodacus roseus) is a species of finch in the Fringillidae family. It is found in China, Japan, Kazakhstan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and Russia. Birds are occasionally reported from further west and there are records from several European countries, including Britain, but the cage-bird trade makes the origin of some such birds hard to assess. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and boreal shrubland.
