The long-tailed rosefinch (Carpodacus sibiricus) (outdated name - Uragus Sibiricus)

Unfortunately, this bird of the color of berry icecream is very rare for me. Even despite the fact that judging by the obsolete name, it is a typical Siberian bird. Also, they have alternative names - long-tailed bullfinch, or long-tailed rosefinch.
I discovered this handsome male in the bushes near the river bank. In the autumn, during nomadic movements, they are guided by the rivers. Unfortunately, this male was alone, there were no other birds, and therefore he reacted animatedly to the sound-bait.
