reed bunting

The reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) is a European bunting that lives in marshy areas. It is also known as the reed sparrow or ring bunting. This bird is characterized by its black face and head, chestnut wings and back, and white underparts. Another bird sometimes referred to as a reed bunting is the bearded tit. The bearded tit (Panurus biarmicus) is a songbird found in reedy marshes from England to eastern Asia. Males have subtle reddish, yellowish, and gray colors with black moustaches, while females are duller and lack the black markings.1234
