The pale rockfinch, or pale rock sparrow, is a small sparrow found in the Middle East and Central Asia and the only member of the genus Carpospiza. Its breeding pattern is associated with specific aspects of habitat (Wikipedia, general species account).
The cached account is very short, does not describe any occurrence in India and gives no description, measurements, diet or nesting information. SoIB 2023 lists it as a winter migrant of open habitat that eats plants and seeds, without a priority category, so its Indian status should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
