Emberizidae

Cirl bunting Emberiza cirlus, copyright Paco Gómez.


Belongs within: Emberizoidea.
Contains: Emberiza capensis, Emberiza schoeniclus.

The Emberizidae includes the buntings of Eurasia and Africa, small, conical-billed passerines that have mostly been classified in the genus Emberiza. Most species are patterned in dull colours, though there are exceptions. The buntings of the genus Emberiza are mostly coloured in brown with streaks of black, white and grey, sometimes marked with yellow, and usually with the outer tail feathers partly or wholly white (Austin 1961). The crested bunting Melophus lathami, found between northern India and southern China, is mostly brown in the female but shiny black with rufous wings and tail in the male. The male of the slaty bunting Latoucheornis siemsseni of southern China is mostly slate-grey in coloration with a white belly and vent (Rising et al. 2011).
