Hi Everyone.

I took these photos in the mountains in north of Tehran in Iran in October. I think this bird is different with Radde's Accentor, because It has yellowish & rusty-buff eye-stripe and yellowish throat. It is clearly different with Radde's accentor. I am confusing that, which species of Accentor is my photos:

Siberian Accentor - Black-throated Accentor or Brown Accentor or Radde's Accentor?

Please Guide me.

I look forward to hearing your advice as soon as possible.

Best Regards

...and I'm sure there are signs of the buff ear-spot as well which indicate Siberian?

Siberian or Radde's Accentor?

Dear nobbyball
What do you think about this bird? Is that Siberian or Radde's Accentor?

Personally I think Siberian. I’m sure there are signs of the buff ear spot combined with yellow-buff eyestripe.
