Description
It is 15 cm in length. Typically, it is the richest-coloured of the reed buntings, with the pinkest legs and bill in winter. Adult males have a dark back, chestnut upperparts, and are striped black and buff on the breast and sides. They have a brown nape, and the sides of neck are whitish. Females have a buffy submoustachial and throat, black malar stripes, and a dark brown crown with pale streaking. Juveniles have a pale greyish-brown central crown stripe and a yellowish brown rump. The calls of the ochre-rumped bunting can be transcribed as 'sur-swee-ik' and 'tik'.
