what is it?

The corn bunting ( Emberiza calandra ) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae. It is usually placed in the genus Emberiza , but some taxonomists place it in the monotypic genus Miliaria . The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz , a bunting. The specific calandra is from Ancient Greek kalandros , the calandra lark.
