The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus) is similar to the European stonechat but is typically paler, with a white rump and whiter underparts with less orange on the breast, and with distinctly longer primary feathers in the wing. The summer male has black upperparts, lacking the brownish tones of the European Stonechat, a conspicuous white collar, white scapular patch and white rump, a restricted orange throat and black head. The female has pale brown upperparts and head, and white neck patches (not a full collar) and a pale, unstreaked pinkish-yellow rump. It breeds in open rough scrubland and rough grassland with scattered shrubs in the East Palearctic including in easternmost Europe and winters in the Old World tropics.
