The chestnut-eared bunting (Emberiza fucata), also called grey-headed bunting or grey-hooded bunting,[2] with the latter name also used for grey-necked bunting, is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae.
The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz, a bunting. The specific fucata is Latin for "painted" from fucare, "to paint red".[3]
