Alpine Accentor, Prunella collaris
The large Alpine Accentor is a very widespread species, ranging from Europe to eastern Asia, and found mainly at high altitude (breeding above 2,000m), but coming to lower levels in winter. A very rare vagrant to the UK.
Robin Accentor, Prunella rubeculoides
The outstandingly pretty Robin Accentor is, of course, named for its appearance, especially its orange breast, like a Robin. Like most accentors it is a high altitude species, breeding at 3,000-5,500m in the Himalayan region.
Mongolian Accentor, Prunella koslowi
Also known as Koslow’s Accentor, this pale accentor is one of the least known species, owing to its restricted range in China and Mongolia. It looks like a washed out or leucistic Dunnock, more pipit- or lark-like than its relatives.
Siberian Accentor, Prunella montanella
