The Red-fronted Rosefinch (Carpodacus puniceus) is a small bird native to Pakistan. It has a distinctive red forehead and throat, with brownish plumage on its body. Males exhibit brighter colors than females, with a red crown and throat. They inhabit mountainous regions and are often found in scrubland, meadows, and forest edges.

Red-fronted Rosefinches are distributed throughout the northern regions of Pakistan, particularly in the mountainous areas of the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges. They are commonly sighted in regions like Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir.

These finches are generally solitary or found in small flocks during the non-breeding season. During breeding season, males establish territories and engage in courtship displays to attract females. They primarily feed on seeds, buds, and insects. Their high-altitude habitat makes them adapted to colder temperatures, and they may migrate to lower elevations during harsh winters.
