The '''Little Bunting''', ''Emberiza pusilla'', is a [[passerine]] [[bird]] in the [[bunting (bird)|bunting]] family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the [[finch]]es, Fringillidae.

It breeds across the [[taiga]] of the far northeast of [[Europe]] and northern [[Asia]]. It is [[bird migration|migratory]], wintering in the subtropics in northern [[India]], southern [[China]] and the northern parts of southeast Asia. It is a rare wanderer to western Europe.

It breeds in open [[conifer]]ous woodland, often with some [[birch]] or [[willow]]. 4-6 [[Egg (biology)|egg]]s are laid in a tree nest. Its natural food consists of [[insect]]s when feeding young, and otherwise [[seed]]s.

This is a small bunting at 12-13.5cm in length. It has a heavily streaked brown back and white underparts with fine dark streaking. With its chestnut face and white malar stripe, it resembles a small female [[Reed Bunting]], but has black crown stripes, a white eye-ring, and a fine dark border to the rear of its chestnut cheeks. Sexes are similar.

The call is a distinctive ''zik'', and the song is a rolling ''siroo-sir-sir-siroo''.
