bunting in She Shan

Hi there,

I posted this bunting picture taken in She Shan. Thought it might be a yellow-throated bunting.
Can anyone help confirm the identity?

many thanks

I think it is a Black-faced Bunting based on head shape and leg color.

The streaks along the flanks look very rusty which I don't think I've seen before on Black-face Bunting and the facial pattern looks distinct. It may just be the light and posture but I'm not sure what this bird is.

I agree that this looks like a female Black-faced. I think the warmer colours (yellow and red tones) look stronger than usual due to the light.
