Laiscopus himalayanus The Altai accentor (Prunella himalayana) is a species of bird in the family Prunellidae.

It breeds in the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia; it winters in the southern Tian Shan and Himalayan ranges.

[2] The Altai accentor is now placed in the genus Prunella that was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.

It has a gray head, a white throat framed by black spots, and a chestnut-brown with dark streaks back and mantle.

During the breeding season (May to August), it primarily feeds on invertebrates, supplementing its diet with berries in winter.
