Arremon Virenticeps, Zacatecas, Mexico
''Arremon'' is a genus of neotropical birds in the family Passerellidae. With the exception of the green-striped brushfinch which is endemic to Mexico, all species are found in South America, with a few reaching Central America. These sparrows are found in lowland woodlands and forests where they usually forage on the ground. They have olive or grey upperparts with a black head. Many have a white line above the eye and some have a black band across the breast. Taxonomy The genus ''Arremon'' was erected in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in his ''Analyse d'une Nouvelle Ornithologie Élémentaire'' to accommodate the pectoral sparrow (''Arremon taciturnus''). The name is from the Ancient Greek ''arrhēmōn'' meaning "silent" or "without speech". The pectoral sparrow had been given the French name "L'Oiseau Silencieux" by the polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (; 7 September 1707 – 16 April ...

Pectoral Sparrow
The pectoral sparrow (''Arremon taciturnus'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The Brazilian name for this species is ''tico-tico-de-bico-preto'', which in translation means "black billed sparrow". Taxonomy The pectoral sparrow was described in 1779 by French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' under the French name "L'Oiseau Silencieux". It was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate that was produced to accompany Buffon's book. Buffon did not use binomial names but in 1783 the French naturalist Johann Hermann coined the name ''Tanagra taciturna''. The specific epithet ''taciturnus'' is the Latin word for "silent" or "quiet". The species is now placed in the genus ''Arremon'' that was erected by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillo ...
