Looks like a Cardinal, Bertl.

It is indeed. There's no similar species. I'd be interested to see other things you found in Kazakhstan too.

Hi Guy
Although I visited Kazakhstan on many occasions during my career, i never had much leisure time. Wish I had made some time looking back to go chase some butterflies.
The photo was sent to me by a friend who has an allotment just outside Almaty.
Maybe I will get back on holiday at some point.
Thanks
Bert

Yes, certainly a Cardinal. Saw this on several trips there for Naturetrek.
