Рыжещёкая синица Sittiparus owstoni

Small songbird found only in evergreen broadleaf forests on southern Izu Islands of Japan. Stunning in plumage, with deep rusty body, dark gray wings and tail, and black throat and crown patch. Formerly considered a large subspecies of Varied Tit, but note the much darker rusty face. Call similar to Varied but higher-pitched, with more frequent, forceful whistles between the nasal notes.
