Buntings are a group of Eurasian and African passerine birds of the family Emberizidae. They are seed-eating birds with stubby, conical bills, and are the Old World equivalents of the species known in North America as (American) sparrows. (However, these birds are not closely related to the Old World sparrows which are in the family Passeridae.) Their habits are similar to those of finches, with which they sometimes used to be grouped. Some emberizids are still named "finches" rather than "buntings". Conversely, there are species retaining the name "bunting" which are now classed in the cardinal family. Among those are the painted and indigo buntings. ==Genera and species== In taxonomic order (but see ''Systematics'' section below). * Genus ''Melophus'' * * Crested bunting, ''Melophus lathami'' * Genus ''Latoucheornis'' * * Slaty bunting, ''Latoucheornis siemsseni'' * Genus ''Emberiza'' - true buntings * * Corn bunting, ''Emberiza calandra'' * * Yellowhammer, ''Emberiza citrinella'' * * Pine bunting, ''Emberiza leucocephalos'' * * Cirl bunting ''Emberiza cirlus'' * * Tibetan bunting, ''Emberiza koslowi'' * * Rock bunting, ''Emberiza cia'' * * Godlewski's bunting, ''Emberiza godlewskii'' * * Meadow bunting, ''Emberiza cioides'' * * Jankowski's bunting, ''Emberiza jankowskii'' * * Grey-necked bunting, ''Emberiza buchanani'' * * Cinereous bunting, ''Emberiza cineracea'' * * Ortolan bunting, ''Emberiza hortulana'' * * White-capped bunting, ''Emberiza stewarti'' * * Cretzschmar's bunting, ''Emberiza caesia'' * * House bunting, ''Emberiza sahari'' * * Striolated bunting, ''Emberiza striolata'' * * Lark-like bunting, ''Emberiza impetuani'' * * Cinnamon-breasted bunting, ''Emberiza tahapisi'' * * Socotra bunting, ''Emberiza socotrana'' * * Cape bunting, ''Emberiza capensis'' * * Ochre-rumped bunting, ''Emberiza yessoensis'' * * Tristram's bunting, ''Emberiza tristrami'' * * Chestnut-eared bunting, ''Emberiza fucata'' * * Little bunting, ''Emberiza pusilla'' * * Yellow-browed bunting, ''Emberiza chrysophrys'' * * Rustic bunting, ''Emberiza rustica'' * * Yellow-throated bunting, ''Emberiza elegans'' * * Yellow-breasted bunting, ''Emberiza aureola'' * * Golden-breasted bunting, ''Emberiza flaviventris'' * * Somali bunting, ''Emberiza poliopleura'' * * Brown-rumped bunting, ''Emberiza affinis'' * * Cabanis' bunting, ''Emberiza cabanisi'' * * Chestnut bunting, ''Emberiza rutila'' * * Black-headed bunting, ''Emberiza melanocephala'' * * Red-headed bunting, ''Emberiza bruniceps'' * * Yellow bunting, ''Emberiza sulphurata'' * * Black-faced bunting, ''Emberiza spodocephala'' * * Grey bunting, ''Emberiza variabilis'' * * Pallas' reed bunting, ''Emberiza pallasi'' * * Reed bunting, ''Emberiza schoeniclus'' * Genus ''Miliaria'' * * Corn bunting, ''Miliaria calandra'' * Genus ''Plectrophenax'' - Arctic buntings (form a group with longspurs rather distantly related to other emberizids), and now placed in a separate family Calcariidae. * * Snow bunting, ''Plectrophenax nivalis'' * * McKay's bunting, ''Plectrophenax hyperboreus'' The lark bunting (''Calamospiza melanocorys'') is an American sparrow.
