The '''yellow-browed bunting''' ('''''Emberiza chrysophrys''''') is a [[passerine]] [[bird]] in the [[Emberiza|bunting]] [[Family (biology)|family]] Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomists]] from the [[finch]]es (Fringillidae). The genus name ''Emberiza'' is from [[Old High German|Old German]] ''Embritz'', a bunting. The specific ''chrysophrys'' is from [[Ancient Greek]] {{Transliteration|grc|khrusophrus}}, "golden-browed".<ref name =job>{{cite book | last= Jobling | first= James A. | year= 2010| title= The Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names | url= https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling | publisher=Christopher Helm | location = London, United Kingdom | isbn = 978-1-4081-2501-4 | pages = 105, 145}}</ref>

It [[Reproduction|breeds]] in eastern [[Siberia]] and is [[Bird migration|migratory]], wintering in central and southern China. It is a very rare wanderer to western Europe.

The yellow-browed bunting breeds in the [[taiga]] zone, and lays four [[bird egg|eggs]] in an [[Tree|arboreal]] [[bird nest|nest]]. In the wild, the adults' diet consists of seeds, but they feed [[insect]]s to nestlings.

This bird is smaller than a [[reed bunting]], but is relatively large-headed. The upper parts are brown and heavily streaked, and the underparts are white with an orange hue on the flanks and some fine dark streaks. Their stout [[beak]]s are pink.

The breeding male has a black head with white crown and moustachial stripes and throat. There is a bright yellow eyebrow stripe. Females and young birds have a weaker head pattern, with brown instead of black, and can be confused with [[little bunting]]s; however, there is always some yellow in the eyebrow, as well as at least a hint of a white stripe on the crown.
