Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Unmistakable with its bright red crest and throat that contrasts with its gray back and white underparts. Note the pale horn-colored bill. Usually seen on the ground in semiopen habitat including agricultural lands and urban areas. In the nonbreeding season gathers in large flocks. The songs is a slow melodious whistle.
