About the White-naped Brushfinch

The white-naped brushfinch (Atlapetes albinucha), also known as the yellow-throated brushfinch, is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found from Mexico to Ecuador. The white-naped brushfinch was formally described in 1838 with the binomial Embernagra albinucha. Subsequent authors placed it in genus Buarremon or Arremon before it was assigned to its present Atlapetes. The white-naped brushfinch's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC and AviList assign it these seven subspecies: A. a. albinucha (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838) A. a. griseipectus Dwight & Griscom, 1921 A. a. fuscipygius Dwight & Griscom, 1921 A. a. parvirostris Dwight & Griscom, 1921 A. a. brunnescens Chapman, 1915 A. a. azuerensis Aldrich, 1937 A. a. gutturalis (Lafresnaye, 1843)
