I found this bird common in the Chumbi Valley in 

 January, where I generally saw it in low bushes. It is 

 rather noisy, with a loud call-note, and feeds chiefly on the 

 ground.

This species differs from P. pulcherrimus in the absence 

 of shaft-stripes on the under parts and in the very distinct 

 colour of the forehead, cheeks, and ear-coverts. It was

 Gyantse to Lhasa. The Tibetan name is " Do-di," which is 

 also, I think, applied to other Rose-Finches.
