Writing on this species, Severtzoff says (p. 117) that there 

 are two forms of this Bunting in Turkestan — one (which he 

 calls E. casia) which has a whitish throat, and another (which 

 he calls E. rufibarba) with a light brown throat ; and he adds 

 that he has seen several intermediate forms between these, 

 and that there are therefore not two species. Both forms 

 occur in the same locality ; and therefore the differences are 

 not climatic.
