The black-winged snowfinch or Adams's snowfinch (Montifringilla adamsi), is a species of bird in the sparrow family. It is found in China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is commonly resident in the Tibetan plateau region of north-western Nepal, where it spends the summer at elevations of 4,200–5,100 metres (13,800–16,700 ft) and the winter at 2,530–3,445 metres (8,301–11,302 ft), on open stony hillsides, on plateau and near villages.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-winged Snowfinch sighting in Hemis National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 52 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Black-winged Snowfinch in Hemis National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and December, the lowest months. January has too few records to rate.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-winged Snowfinch sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Hemis National Park, in our data
Hemis National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-winged Snowfinch sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-winged Snowfinch is recorded against all the birds logged in Hemis National Park (12 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.
