Atlapetes
''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 brushfin ...

Yellow-breasted Brushfinch
The yellow-breasted brushfinch (''Atlapetes latinuchus''), also known as the cloud-forest brushfinch, is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of '' Atlapetes rufinucha''. It is found in forest and woodland in the Andean highlands of northern Peru, through Ecuador and Colombia, to far western Venezuela. It is generally common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International. A new subspecies In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species ..., '' A. l. yariguierum'', was described in 2006 from Serranía de los Yariguíes in Colombia.

Black-fronted Brushfinch
The black-fronted brushfinch or black-fronted brush finch (''Atlapetes nigrifrons'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in the Perijá Mountains of northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW) and the Clements taxonomy consider the black-fronted brushfinch a subspecies of yellow-breasted brushfinch (''Atlapetes latinuchus'') but state that " ture treatments may consider this taxon a valid species".Jaramillo, A., J. del Hoyo, N.

Moustached Brushfinch
The moustached brushfinch (''Atlapetes albofrenatus'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in northern Colombia, where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy and systematics The moustached brushfinch was first formally described in 1940 by the French ornithologist Auguste Boissonneau. He named it ''Tanagra (arremon) albo-frenatus'', considering it to be part of the Tanager family. The International Ornithological Congress and the Handbook of the Birds of the World consider the moustached brushfinch to be monotypic - i.e. having no subspecies. The eBird/Clements and Howard and Moore checklists include the Merida brushfinch - ''A. albofrenatus meridaeas'' - as a subspecies of the moustached brushfinch. A recent study of the mitochondrial DNA gene sequences for the family Passerellidae indicates that the moustached brushfinch is most closely related to the Ochre-breasted ...

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-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 ...
