Abstract
A dwarfish Rustic Bunting Emberiza rustica was captured at Oume City, in the western part of Tokyo, on 13 November 1997. Main measurements of this juvenile female were as follows; wing length 67.8 mm (right wing), 68.0 mm (left wing), tail length 54 mm, exposed culmen 10.5 mm, tarsus length 18.8 mm, body weight 16.0 g. Although dwarfish Rustic Buntings had occasionally been captured in Japan, this was the first time that detail records were reported.
