Just heard an interesting rumour :

A new species for the Western Palearctic has been found, namely breeding
in Turkey : the Mongolian Trunpeter Finch (Bucanetes mongolicus).

The literature tells the species is possibly breeding in Iran and vagrants
are seen in Bahrain. A nice addition to the Bucanetes (formerly Rhodopechys)
family in Turkey !
