Family: Urocynchramidae

[edit] Description

A single species, the Pink-tailed Bunting (Aka Pink-tailed Rosefinch or Przewalski's Rosefinch).

[edit] Taxonomy

Using molecular evidence, Groth (2000) proposed that Przewalski's Rosefinch should be regarded as the only member of the family Urocynchramidae, (something that had been originally proposed as long ago as 1918, based on morphology) and this change was adopted by Clements (2007).
