🕉️😊"Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well." 🖤 After 3 Years of Waiting ⏳🕚😊🕉️ 🙇 🆔 The Himalayan Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis caniceps) is a sub-species of the European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis carduelis). These two groups merge at their boundary, so the caniceps group is not recognized as a distinct species despite the readily distinguishable plumage. The Himalayan Goldfinch is also often referred to as the Gray-crowned Goldfinch, Grey-crowned Goldfinch or simply Goldfinch.The Himalayan Goldfinch is a small finch, averaging 12-13.5 cm (4-5 inches) in length and weighing around 16 to 22 grams. The crown to mantle, back and scapulars (shoulder feathers) are grey. It lacks white sides to the crown and face. The outer webs of tertials (= the flight feathers that are closest to the bird's body along the wing) are broadly white. Both sexes look alike alike. Similar Species: The Himalayan Goldfinch looks like European Goldfinch, except it lacks the black markings and tawny plumage of the nominate European Goldfinch #europeangoldfinch ❣🕉 EOS Canon 700D Tamron G2 600mm 🐦 😊😍 . 🐾 Follow & Use Tag⤵ #tamronindia #goldfinch #himachalwildlifepicture #himalayangoldfinch #chamba #capturedoncanon ❣🌉 #birdsworld #himachal #animals #flowers #savebirds #indianbirds #birds #wildlifephotos #birdlife #canon #canonshots #wildlife #photography #natgeo 🕊🐧#birdsofhimachal #himachalwildlife #bullfinch #finches #himachalbirds #birdsphotography #birdsphotos #canonphotography 😊 🕉️🏔️🦏🌺🦋 #tamron "Save Wildlife & Save World."🕊️❤️ @tamronindia @canonasia @canon_photos @best_birds_of_ig @best_birds_planet @natgeo @natgeoindia @bbcearth @wildlifeindia @natgeochannel @natgeowild @natgeoasia @discovery @birds_captures @birds.nature @birds_private @best_birds_of_ig @wild.planet @sanctuaryasia @birds_adored @lonelyplanetmagazineindia @natgeoyourshot @canonasia @best_birds_planet @best_birds_of_world @animalplanetindia @discoverychannelin @wildlifesos 🕊️🌲🌏🥀🦋 (at Chamba, Himachal Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPlWEidpPTv/?utm_medium=tumblr
