The tail feathers are W-shaped.
Ecology

Habitat
This photo was taken near Enrei Ojo Parkline Observatory in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture. It was a snowy day from the morning, but birds, mainly buntings, were active.Among the trees, a male perched on a branch that was not exposed to light. It was about the same size as a bunting, but could be identified by the bright yellow color of its throat. After a while, he returned to the bush.
