Jankowski's bunting or rufous-backed bunting (Emberiza jankowskii) is a species of bird in the family Emberizidae.
It breeds in the Russian Far East, Manchuria and far northeastern Korea, where its natural habitats are temperate shrubland and grassland. In 2020, it was discovered to be breeding in Mongolia. It is threatened by habitat loss, caused by the overgrazing of its habitat.[2] The species is currently listed as endangered.[3]
The species is named after the collector Michał Jankowski who collected a specimen on 9 March 1886 on his estate in Sidemi in the Primorsky Krai. The specimen was sent to Ladislaus Taczanowski who described the species in 1888.[4]
The species is given the highest level of protection under Chinese law, being added to the list of species named under the Wildlife Protection Law in 2021. [5]
