Pallas's rosefinch is a medium-sized to large slender rosefinch 16–17.5 cm long, with a long notched tail. It breeds in boreal forest and shrubland in central and south-eastern Russia and Mongolia and is found in China and Japan in the non-breeding season, and also in Kazakhstan and Korea. Birds are occasionally reported further west, though cage-bird escapes make the origin of some hard to assess. (Wikipedia, general species account)
