Tajikistan - Rosy pipit? Altai Accentor? (1 Viewer)

[opisska]

Putting my birds to iNaturalist, I have gotten two fascinating ID suggestions implying very rare birds in Tajikistan. Even on eBird, Altai Accentor has 1 observation in Tajikistan, Rosy Pipit ZERO, although both should appear there based on range maps. I definitely need to put those observations on eBird, considering how underwatched the country is! But I would like to hear your opinions. first. The photos are bad, but you can see stuff in them a bit

Both look OK to me Jan.

Now I want to find how rare they actually are

So I have been sent a list of birds of Tajikistan by some local society -https://tajikistan.birds.watch/m/v2checklist.php?l=ru - and Rosy Pipit is not on it, but on the wiki list -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Tajikistan - it is. How do people find out when they have a new country record?

You could try to contact Rafael Aye and ask him. If he doesn't know himself, there's a good chance he will know who does.

That name doesn't show anyone obvious on Google, would you have any contact?
