The Altai accentor (Prunella himalayana) is a species of bird in the family Prunellidae. It is also known as the rufous-streaked accentor or Himalayan accentor. It breeds in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia; it winters in the southern Tian Shan and Himalayan ranges.
Taxonomy
The Altai accentor was described by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1842 and given the binomial name Accentor himalayanus.[2] The Altai accentor is now placed in the genus Prunella that was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.[3] The species is monotypic.[4]
This species, along with the alpine accentor, is sometimes separated from the other accentors into the genus Laiscopus.[5]
