Indonesian Serin
The Indonesian serin (''Chrysocorythus estherae'') is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. The Indonesian serin was formerly placed in the genus ''Serinus'' but a phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences found that the species was not closely related to other member of ''Serinus'' nor to the geographically nearest finch, the Vietnamese greenfinch but to the European Goldfinch ''Carduelis carduelis'' and to the Citril Finch ''Carduelis citrinella''. The species was therefore assigned to a separate genus ''Chrysocorythus'', a name that had previously been proposed by the German ornithologist Hans Edmund Wolters in 1967. The Mindanao serin (''C. mindanensis'') of Mindanao was formerly considered conspecific, together called the mountain serin, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021. References ...

Mindanao Serin
The Mindanao serin (''Chrysocorythus mindanensis'') is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in the Philippines in the areas of Mount Katanglad and Mount Apo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. The Mindanao serin was formerly considered conspecific with the Indonesian serin (''Chrysocorythus estherae''), together called the mountain serin, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021. The Mindanao Serin was first described by S. Dillon Ripley and D. S. Rabor from an adult male collected in 1960 by R. B. Gonzales. The original description also includes a color illustration by Robert Verity Clem, and the type is located in the Yale Peabody Museum.https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1049&context=peabody_museum_natural_history_postilla References Chrysocorythus Endemic birds of the Philippines Birds of Mindanao Mindanao serin ...
