Blyth's Rosefinch

Blyth's, or the Himalayan, rosefinch is a finch found from northern Afghanistan to the western Himalaya, in temperate forest and boreal shrubland. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the red-mantled rosefinch, and the common name commemorates Edward Blyth (1810–1873), English zoologist and curator of the Museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (Wikipedia, general species account).
