Finches from Northern Pakistan (1 Viewer)

[gilgit2]

Here are few images of finches in a flock at the Deosai National Park (34°56'9" N 75°42'25" E at an elevation of 4600m) in Northern Pakistan. The images were taken on 2nd of October. My initial thought was Tibetan Snowfinch, but cannot confirm the ID. Other possibilities can be Brandt's Mountain-finch or White-winged Snowfinch.

Any help will be welcome

On 6th October I spotted the same kind of finches in the Khunjerab National Park (36°49'59" N 75°22'7" E at an elevation of 4600m) near Pakistan-China boarder. There were 100 plus birds in the flock, foraging on the ground near a heard of Alpine Ibex.

IOC doesn't list Pakistan for Black-winged Snowfinch, which might be a new species for Pakistan. Did you mean henrici?

I didn't no, I thought henrici was much further east.
