The common redpoll (Acanthis flammea)

This, It can be said, part of the previous post. Because I found this lady in the company with long-tailed rosefinch from the previous post.
And this is not surprising, because they are both love to eat wormwood! And they are also relatives : Genus - Carpodacus.
But something strange happens in Wikipedia ...

There's absolutely all mixed up! And if you look at other languages, then you get even more confused! In Russian, redpoll belongs in goldfinches! wtf?
In general, both of these birds belong to the same genus.

But something I digress ...
As I said, this bird was in the company of the long-tailed rosefinch. Together they did not conflict in the open field, they fed wormwood and nettle remnants. It's funny. Usually, redpoll flocks are large flocks. Sometimes in these flocks you can see siskin.
