Collared Grosbeak

<em>Mycerobas affinis</em>, the Collared Grosbeak, is a large finch in the family Fringillidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to the Himalayan region and adjacent mountain ranges of South and East Asia, inhabiting montane forests, particularly coniferous and mixed forests at high elevations.
