Taivani karmiinleevike, Carpodacus formosanus

Taivani karmiinleevikese emaslind on üsna igava välimusega võrreldes uhke punast värvi sulestikuga isaslinnuga. Elab see Taiwani endeemne liik saare keskmäestikus ning minu kaamera ette jäi ta Alishani rahvuspargis.

Female Taiwan Rosefinch is quite dull-looking compared to the male that has flashy red plumage.  This Taiwan endemic species can be found in central mountains and was caught in front of my camera in Alishan National Park.
