The streaked rosefinch is a true finch found on the Himalayan Plateau, in boreal shrubland. Two subspecies are recognised: rubicilloides, from eastern Tibet to central and southern China, and lucifer, in southern Tibet and the Himalaya (Wikipedia, general species account).
The cached account is short and gives no description, measurements, diet or breeding information. SoIB 2023 lists it as a resident and altitudinal migrant of alpine and cold desert that eats plants and seeds, without a priority category (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
