The African crimson-winged finch (''Rhodopechys alienus''), is a pale-colored thickset finch with a heavy, dull yellowish bill. It is found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.〔Kirwan, Guy M., Phil W. Atkinson, Arnoud B. van den Berg and Hadoram Shirihai (2006) Taxonomy of the Crimson-winged Finch ''Rhodopechys sanguineus'': a test case for defining species limits between disjunct taxa ''Bulletin of the African Bird Club'' Vol. 13 No. 2 pages 136-46〕 It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Eurasian crimson-winged finch. It has an average length of 13 cm. and a wingspan of ca. 32 cm. It is light brown overall, with a whitish mid-belly, a black cap and a pinkish pattern on the wings and tail. The female is slightly duller than the male. This species lives on rocky mountainsides, often at high elevation. It can be found in barren landscapes with little vegetation, and sometimes nests in rock crevices. It feeds on seeds, and during the winter descends in flocks to agricultural fields to find food. The female lays and incubates 4 or 5 blue, lightly speckled eggs. ==Morphology==
