The Chinese white-browed rosefinch (Carpodacus dubius) is a true finch found in central China and eastern Tibet, in temperate forests and shrubland. It was once considered a subspecies of the Himalayan white-browed rosefinch but was raised to species status, supported by a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences. The male has a bright pink face and underside, and the female is brown streaked all over with paler underparts; the beak is short and conical. (Wikipedia, general species account)
