Costa Rican Brushfinch (Arremon costaricensis)
About the Costa Rican Brushfinch
The Costa Rican brushfinch (Arremon costaricensis) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The Costa Rican brushfinch has a complicated taxonomic history. It was formally described in 1907 with the binomial Buarremon costaricensis. The genus Buarremon was later merged into genus Atlapetes but further study resulted in Buarremon's being resurrected. Buarremon costaricensis was later reassigned as one of many subspecies of what was then the "stripe-headed brushfinch" (Buarremon torquatus). In 2008 taxonomists began merging Buarremon into Arremon. Following a study published in 2010 and some earlier studies, taxonomists began splitting the "stripe-headed brushfinch" into eight species, one of which was the Costa Rican brushfinch.
