Accentors (Prunellidae)
Robin Accentor (Prunella rubeculoides) - HBW 10, p. 509
French: Accenteur rougegorge
German: Rostbrustbraunelle
Spanish: Acentor Petirrojo
Other common names: Robin Hedge-sparrow
Taxonomy: Accentor rubeculoides F. Moore, 1854, Nepal.
Apparently no close affinities within genus. Geographical variation slight; proposed races muraria (described from NW Kashmir), fusca (from C Xizang, in SW China) and beicki (from N Gansu, in NC China) show little difference from populations elsewhere in range. Treated as monotypic.
Distribution: Himalayas (from Baltistan and Ladakh E to Bhutan) and SW & C China (S & SE Xizang E to NE Qinghai, N Gansu and W Sichuan).
