About the Mongolian Accentor

Kozlov's accentor (Prunella koslowi) or the Mongolian accentor, is a species of bird in the family Prunellidae. It is found in Mongolia and northern China. The specific epithet was chosen to honour the Russian explorer Pyotr Kozlov.

The name Tharrhaleus pallidus Menzbier, 1887 was published just months after the scientific name to which this species is now recognized: Accentor koslowi Przewalski; therefore, it is a synonym of it. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Mongolian Accentor is recorded against all the birds logged in Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park (113 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
