The golden-breasted bunting (''Emberiza flaviventris'') is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae. It occurs in dry open woodlands in Africa south of the Sahara, but is absent from the equatorial forest belt. There are three subspecies: * ''E. f. flaviventris'', the nominate form, occurs from in the rest of the range from the Cape to southernmost Sudan. * ''E. f. flavigaster'' occurs in a narrow belt across the southern edge of the Sahara, and its range is discontinuous with the other subspecies. * ''E. f. princeps'' occurs in southern Angola and Namibia. ==Description== The golden-breasted bunting is 15–16 cm long. The adult male has striking head pattern with a white crown, black lateral crown stripes, white supercilium and black-bordered white ear coverts. The underparts are orange-yellow becoming yellow on the throat and whitish on the lower belly. The upperparts are chestnut with a grey rump. The browner wings have two conspicuous white wing bars. The sexes are very similar, but females may have a buff tone to the white head markings and browner head stripes, and the back may have dark streaks. Young birds are duller and paler than the females. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden-breasted bunting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
