List Of Fringillidae Species
The family Fringillidae are the "true" finches. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these 234 species in the family, distributed among three subfamilies and 50 genera. Confusingly, only 74 of the species include "finch" in their common names, and several other families include species called finches. This list includes 18 extinct species, the Bonin grosbeak and 17 Hawaiian honeycreepers; they are marked (X). This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.

Fringillidae
The true finches are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Fringillidae. Finches have stout conical bills adapted for eating seeds and nuts and often have colourful plumage. They occupy a great range of habitats where they are usually resident and do not migrate. They have a worldwide distribution except for Australia and the polar regions. The family Fringillidae contains more than two hundred species divided into fifty genera. It includes species known as siskins, canaries, redpolls, serins, grosbeaks and euphonias. Many birds in other families are also commonly called "finches". These groups include the estrildid finches (Estrildidae) of the Old World tropics and Australia; some members of the Old World bunting family (Emberizidae) and the New World sparrow family (Passerellidae); and the Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, now considered members of the tanager family (Thraupidae).Newton (1973), Clement ''et al.''

Blanford's Rosefinch
Blanford's rosefinch (''Agraphospiza rubescens'') or the crimson rosefinch, is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal. Its natural habitat is boreal forest. Blanford's rosefinch was formerly placed in the genus ''Carpodacus'' with the other rosefinches. It was moved to the monotypic genus ''Agraphospiza'' based on the results from the phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences. It differs from rosefinches in the genus ''Carpodacus''. Both sexes have unstreaked plumage, the bill is thinner and less conical, the wings are more pointed and it has a shorter tail. Its common name commemorates the English zoologist William Thomas Blanford William Thomas Blanford (7 October 183223 June 1905) was an English geologist and naturalist. He is best remembered as the editor of a major series on '' The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma''. Biography Blanford was born .... References Bla ...

In breeding plumage, males have a pink flush to their face and underparts, and there are extensive white and pink areas in the wings, a pattern that is also present but less marked in non-breeding plumage.

Trumpeter Finch
The trumpeter finch (''Bucanetes githagineus'') is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is mainly a desert species which is found in North Africa and Spain through to southern Asia. It has occurred as a vagrant in areas north of its breeding range. Distribution and subspecies The trumpeter finch breeds from the Canary Islands eastwards across North Africa, as far south as Mauritania, Mali and Chad, with isolated populations in Sudan and Ethiopia and Djibouti. In the Middle East, it is found in Egypt east to Iraq and south in the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen and Oman and north into Turkey and Armenia. In central Asia it ranges from Iran north to Kazakhstan and east to India. It has colonised southern Spain where breeding was first proved in 1971. There are four recognised subspecies: * ''B. g. amantum'' - (Hartert, 1903) - the Canary Islands * ''B. g. zedlitzi'' - ( Neumann, 1907) - North Africa and southeastern Spain * ''B. g. githagineus'' ( Lichtenstein, ...

Eurasian Bullfinch
The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (''Pyrrhula pyrrhula'') is a small passerine bird in the finch family, Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as the bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch. Taxonomy and systematics The Eurasian bullfinch was formally described in 1758 by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' under the binomial name ''Loxia pyrrhula''. It is now placed in the genus ''Pyrrhula'' that was introduced in 1760 by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson. The Latin word ''pyrrhula'' comes from the Greek ''πυρρός'' (a flame-coloured bird, from πυρρός flame coloured, from ''πυρ'' fire : Pyrrha), a 'worm eating bird' that is mentioned by Aristotle. The Latin name ''pyrrhula'' for the Eurasian bullfinch had been used in 1555 by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gesner in his '' Historiae animalium''.

White-cheeked Bullfinch
The white-cheeked bullfinch (''Pyrrhula leucogenis'') is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in mountain regions of the Philippines, mainly on the two largest Philippine islands, Luzon and Mindanao. It has also been reported on the island of Panay. Its natural habitat is 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 ...s. The bird's conservation status is 'least concern', although it is uncommon and has a very restricted range. Taxonomy The taxonomy was described in 2001 by Arnaiz-Villena et al.
