Paria Brushfinch (Arremon phygas)
About the Paria Brushfinch
The Paria brushfinch (Arremon phygas) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Venezuela. The Paria brushfinch has a complicated taxonomic history. It was formally described in 1912 as a subspecies of the stripe-headed brushfinch with the trinomial Buarremon torquatus phygas. The genus Buarremon was later merged into genus Atlapetes. Further study resulted in Buarremon's being resurrected. 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 Paria brushfinch. The Paria brushfinch is monotypic.
