Yellow-browed Seedeater (Crithagra whytii)
About the Yellow-browed Seedeater
The yellow-browed seedeater (Crithagra whytii) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. The yellow-browed seedeater was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic. The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the yellow-browed seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra. Since 2012 the IUCN has treated this taxon as a subspecies of Crithagra striolata.
