Perija Brushfinch (Arremon perijanus)
About the Perija Brushfinch
The Perija brushfinch (Arremon perijanus) is a species of bird in the family Emberizidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. The Perija brushfinch was formally described in 1940 as a subspecies of the stripe-headed brushfinch with the trinomial Atlapetes torquatus perijanus. The species' previous genus Buarremon had earlier been merged into Atlapetes but it was resurrected in 2007 yielding Buarremon torquatus perijanus. In 2008 taxonomists began merging Buarremon into Arremon; by that time the "stripe-headed brushfinch" had acquired multiple subspecies. 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 Perija brushfinch. The Perija brushfinch is monotypic.
