The Grey-hooded Bunting (Emberiza buchanani) is a small passerine bird found in Pakistan. It has a distinctive grey head, white underparts, and streaked brown upperparts. Males have brighter colors during the breeding season, including a black throat patch.

The Grey-hooded Bunting is primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including the mountainous areas such as the Himalayas and Karakoram range. It prefers habitats with shrubs, grasslands, and agricultural fields at elevations ranging from 500 to 3,500 meters above sea level.
This species is often observed foraging on the ground for seeds, insects, and small invertebrates. During the breeding season, males sing to establish territories and attract mates. They build cup-shaped nests on the ground or low in shrubs, where females lay eggs and both parents participate in feeding the chicks. Grey-hooded Buntings are migratory birds, with some populations wintering in southern Pakistan or migrating further south to India and beyond during the colder months.
