The yellow or Japanese yellow bunting is a bunting of eastern Asia, 14 cm long with a conical grey bill, pinkish-brown feet and brown eyes. The male is grey-green above with black streaks on the back and yellow-green underparts, brightest on the throat and belly and streaked on the flanks, with black lores, a narrow black chin, a pale eye-ring and white outer tail feathers. The nest is built low in a bush and holds three to five eggs. The song is twittering and the call a soft tsip. (Wikipedia, general species account)
