The Siberian long-tailed rosefinch (Carpodacus sibiricus) is a species of finch of the family Fringillidae. It is found in Japan, Kazakhstan, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and temperate grassland.
It is a very rare vagrant to Europe, but like several related Asiatic rosefinches, is reasonably frequent in the cage bird trade, so many records have been considered to relate to escapes. The Siberian long-tailed rosefinch was formerly placed in the genus Uragus, but was moved to Carpodacus based on the results of phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences.

Of the 11 cities where we can rate Long-tailed Rosefinch sightings, Novosibirsk ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia, about 50%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-tailed Rosefinch is recorded against all the birds logged in Novosibirsk (118 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.
