Atlapetes Schistaceus Taczanowskii 68805136
''Atlapetes'' is a genus of birds in the New World sparrow family Passerellidae. The species are mainly found in montane forest from Mexico to northwestern Argentina. Taxonomy and species The genus ''Atlapetes'' was introduced in 1831 by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler to accommodate the rufous-capped brushfinch (''Atlapetes pileatus''). The genus name is from Ancient Greek and combines the name of the mythical figure ''Atlas'' with ''petēs'', meaning "flyer". Within the New World sparrow family Passerellidae the genus ''Atlapetes'' is sister to the genus '' Pipilo''. The genus contains 33 species: * Rufous-capped brushfinch, ''Atlapetes pileatus'' * Moustached brushfinch, ''Atlapetes albofrenatus'' * Merida brushfinch, ''Atlapetes meridae'' * Ochre-breasted brushfinch, ''Atlapetes semirufus'' * Tepui brushfinch, ''Atlapetes personatus'' * White-naped brushfinch, ''Atlapetes albinucha'' * Santa Marta brushfinch, ''Atlapetes melanocephalus'' * Pale-naped brushfi ...

Rufous-capped Brushfinch
The rufous-capped brushfinch (''Atlapetes pileatus'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial f ... and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.

Yellow-headed Brushfinch
The yellow-headed brushfinch (''Atlapetes flaviceps'') is a Near Threatened species of bird in the American sparrow family, Passerellidae. It is endemic to Colombia. The common name is a semi-literal translation of the scientific name, with '' Atlapetes'' referring to the brushfinch genus, and ''flaviceps'' meaning "yellow-headed". This species has a yellow to dark olive head. The throat, chin, malar streak, lores, eye-ring, and ear patch are bright yellow in any case. The rest of the plumage is yellow with dark olive upperparts, wing and tail. The variation in the head color is not well explained, but it is likely that the olive-headed individuals are females and/or immature birds.SACC 006/ref> Common name It is sometimes still referred to by its obsolete common name, olive-headed brushfinch. That name is the result of an interesting error. ''A. flaviceps'' occurs in a very limited range, and is rare. Until the 1980s, it was known only from the two specimens collected on Octob ...

Antioquia Brushfinch
The Antioquia brushfinch (''Atlapetes blancae'') is a poorly known species of bird from the family Passerellidae. It was scientifically described in 2007 on basis of three museum specimens from Antioquia, Colombia, which were previously labelled as slaty brushfinches (''Atlapetus schistaceus''). The specific epithet ''blancae'' refers to the whitish underparts of the new species, while also commemorating the Colombian lepidopterologist , the wife of ornithologist Thomas M. Donegan (who described the species). All three museum skins were collected in the 20th century, but only one label has a date, which is given as 1971. Subsequent fieldwork in Antioquia has failed to find this species again. The species description has been approved by the South American Classification Committee. It has been recommended for a critically endangered status. Rediscovery In January 2018, a Colombian resident of San Pedro de los Milagros noticed this bird on his way to Sunday mass. Since then, 4 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yellow-thighed Brushfinch
The yellow-thighed brushfinch (''Atlapetes tibialis'') is a passerine bird which is endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. Despite its name, it is not a true finch, but rather a member of the family Passerellidae, which also includes American sparrows, juncos and towhees. This is a common bird in wet mountain forests, second growth, bamboo clumps, scrubby pasture and bushy clearings from 1700 m altitude to the timberline. When not breeding, it can descend to 1200 m on the Caribbean slopes. The nest, built by the female, is a bulky cup of plant material hidden in coarse grasses, bamboo or a thickly-foliaged tree 0.7-4.6 m above the ground. The female lays two brown-blotched white or pale blue eggs, which she incubates for 12–14 days. The yellow-thighed brushfinch is a long-tailed species, 18.5 cm long and weighing 31 g.
