Common Rock Thrush.

The common rock thrush (Monticola saxatilis), also known as rufous-tailed rock thrush or simply rock thrush, is a chat belonging to the family Muscicapidae. It was formerly placed in the family Turdidae. The scientific name is from Latin. Monticola is from mons, montis "mountain", and colere, "to dwell", and saxatilis means "rock-frequenting", from saxum, "stone" .

This is a medium-sized but stocky thrush 17–20 cm in length. The summer male is unmistakable, with a blue-grey head, orange underparts and outer tail feathers, dark brown wings and white back. Females and immatures are much less striking, with dark brown scaly upperparts, and paler brown scaly underparts. The outer tail feathers are reddish, like the male.

It breeds in southern Europe across Central Asia

The male Dark-breasted Rosefinch is striking, with a deep rosy-red head and breast, but with a dark patch on the chest that gives the bird its name. The contrast gives it a unique and bold look compared to other rosefinches.

This species lives in the Himalayan and Southeast Asian highlands, found in countries like India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and northern Myanmar, often at elevations from 2,000 to 4,300 meters.

The Dark-breasted Rosefinch is often found in rhododendron thickets, alpine shrubs, and open coniferous forests, especially during the breeding season.
