About the Elegant Euphonia
The elegant euphonia or blue-hooded euphonia (Chlorophonia elegantissima) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Mexico and every Central American country. The elegant euphonia has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1838 with the binomial Pipra elegantissima, mistakenly identifying it as a manakin. It was eventually reassigned to genus Euphonia that had been erected in 1806.
