Blue-crowned Chlorophonia (Chlorophonia occipitalis)
About the Blue-crowned Chlorophonia
The blue-crowned chlorophonia (Chlorophonia occipitalis) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The blue-crowned chlorophonia was originally described in 1847 with the binomial Euphonia occipitalis. It was eventually reassigned to genus Chlorophonia that had been erected in 1851. The genus Chlorophonia was long placed in the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in its being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
