Pallas's Rosefinch is a small finch species native to eastern Asia. It is normally found as a breeding bird in central and eastern Russia into Mongolia. It was an unknown species in the Western Hemisphere until the summer of 2015. A single bird was found on St. Paul Island in the Pribolof Islands, in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska. They have also wandered on rare occasions to parts of Europe. However, they are often kept as cage birds in parts of Europe and Asia, and the origin of vagrants in Europe has not been confirmed to represent true wild vagrants.
