Indonesian Serin (Chrysocorythus estherae)
About the Indonesian Serin
The Indonesian serin (Chrysocorythus estherae) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. The Indonesian serin was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but a phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences found that the species was not closely related to other member of Serinus nor to the geographically nearest finch, the Vietnamese greenfinch but to the European Goldfinch Carduelis carduelis and to the Citril Finch Carduelis citrinella. The species was therefore assigned to a separate genus Chrysocorythus, a name that had previously been proposed by the German ornithologist Hans Edmund Wolters in 1967.
