Short Description:

The Chestnut-eared Bunting (Emberiza fucata) is a small bird species found in Pakistan. It features distinctive chestnut-colored ear patches, contrasting with its greyish-brown plumage. Males display brighter colors during the breeding season, while females have a duller appearance year-round.

The Chestnut-eared Bunting is primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including the foothills of the Himalayas and parts of Balochistan. It inhabits open grasslands, agricultural areas, and scrubby habitats at elevations ranging from lowlands to moderate altitudes.

These buntings are primarily ground-dwelling birds, foraging for seeds, grains, and insects amidst low vegetation. During the breeding season, males establish territories and perform courtship displays to attract mates. They build cup-shaped nests on the ground or in low bushes, where females lay eggs and both parents take turns incubating them. Outside the breeding season, Chestnut-eared Buntings may form loose flocks for foraging and roosting purposes.
