The ochre-rumped bunting (Emberiza yessoensis), also known as the Japanese reed bunting, is a bird in the family Emberizidae. It is found in Manchuria, Korea and Japan. Its natural habitats are temperate grassland and swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss. In South Korea it is classified as an endangered species.
The bird family Emberizidae contains 44 seed-eating species confined to the Old World. The ochre-rumped bunting was first described as Schoenicola yessoensis by Robert Swinhoe in 1874. The species epithet, yessoensis, describes the bird as being found on Yesso (Hokkaido). Within its genus, the ochre-rumped bunting is most closely related to the common reed bunting and Pallas's reed bunting, which have sometimes been classified as being in their own genus Schoeniclus.
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... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-rumped Bunting sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 150th most-seen of the 162 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-rumped Bunting in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Yes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochre-rumped Bunting is recorded against all the birds logged in Nanjing (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
