Brambling's bird song|song|thumb thumb|Brambling in Pahalgam, Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir The brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It has also been called the '''cock o' the north and the mountain finch'. It is widespread and migratory, often seen in very large flocks.

==Taxonomy== In 1758 Linnaeus included the species in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae under its current binomial name, Fringilla montifringilla. Montifringilla is from Latin mons, montis mountain and fringilla finch. The English name "bramlyng" (Bram "loud" + lyng "lung") was used in 1544 by the English naturalist William Turner but later in the 16th century the current spelling "brambling" was used. The etymology of the name is uncertain as the bird is not associated with the bramble or common blackberry Rubus fruticosus''.
