Uccelli simili a Yellowhammer

Key differences

The Cirl Bunting male has a distinctive black throat and eye-stripe, and a greenish-grey head with yellow supercilium and moustachial stripe, lacking the extensive bright yellow head of the Yellowhammer. The song is a monotonous, rapid trill, very different from the Yellowhammer's.

Key differences

Males of the Pine Bunting have a white crown and cheeks, with chestnut on the head and breast, and a white collar, contrasting with the Yellowhammer's all-yellow head. Females are harder to distinguish but generally lack the strong yellow tones of female Yellowhammers.

Key differences

The Corn Bunting is larger and plumper, entirely streaky brown with no yellow plumage. Its song is a jangling, metallic 'squeaky gate' sound, distinctly different from the Yellowhammer.
