The Chinese white-browed rosefinch (Carpodacus dubius) is a true finch species (family Fringillidae).
It is found in China and Tibet. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate shrubland.
This species was at one time considered as a subspecies of the Himalayan white-browed rosefinch (Carpodacus thura) but was up-ranked to species status. This was supported by a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences.[1][2]
