Grey-eared Brushfinch (Atlapetes melanolaemus)
About the Grey-eared Brushfinch
The grey-eared brushfinch or black-faced brushfinch (Atlapetes melanolaemus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. The grey-eared brushfinch was formally described in 1879 with the binomial Buarremon melanolaemus. Genus Buarremon was merged into Atlapetes early in the twentieth century. Various twentieth century authors treated the grey-eared brushfinch as conspecific with what was then the rufous-naped brushfinch (A. rufinucha sensu lato), a species that was split into many species in the early twenty-first century. The grey-eared brushfinch is monotypic.
