Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus)

Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus), a sparrow-sized but slim and with a long, deeply notched tail, the male has a blackhead, white-collar, and a drooping moustache. Females and winter males have a streaked head. In-flight the tail looks black with broad, white edges. Although the male is unmistakeable in the breeding season, males in winter plumage and females are harder to identify.
