It is, however, the most distinctive and colorful of the three species, and also the most restricted in range and habitat. This species only breeds in a few locations in Japan, Korea, northeast China and southeast Russia. It is classified as Near Threatened due to continued habitat loss, particularly on the Asian mainland.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-339-41937\">\n\n\n\n    \t<!--
