Rufous-eared Brushfinch (Atlapetes rufigenis)
About the Rufous-eared Brushfinch
The rufous-eared brushfinch (Atlapetes rufigenis) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Peru. The rufous-eared brushfinch was formally described in 1895 with the binomial Buarremon rufigenis. In the early twentieth century genus Buarremon was merged into Atlapetes. The rufous-eared brushfinch is monotypic. However, some late twentieth century authors suggested that the Apurimac brushfinch (A. forbesi) should be a subspecies of it but they are not closely related.
