what is it?

The common reed bunting ( Emberiza schoeniclus ) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae. The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz , a bunting. The specific schoeniclus is from Ancient Greek skhoiniklos , a now unknown waterside bird.
