This passerine was seen at Mengbishan in Sichuan on 12th June. It was in high altitude conifer forest (I guess around 3500m asl). It rather puzzled me and my experienced guide in the field. It's sort of vaguely like a Plain Mountain Finch but seems not quite right, and didn't really have the right sort of jizz for that species. I'm still not really close to being able to figure it out, but perhaps I'm missing something obvious.
Both photos show the same bird. Most of the time it was in view I concentrated on getting shots of it, so don't have too much to add in terms of how it looked.
