About the Finsch's Euphonia

Finsch's euphonia (Euphonia finschi) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. Finsch's euphonia was originally described in 1877 with its current binomial Euphonia finschi. The genus Euphonia 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. The species' common name and specific epithet commemorate the German ethnographer, naturalist and colonial explorer Friedrich Hermann Otto Finsch (8 August 1839 - 31 January 1917, Braunschweig). Finsch's euphonia is monotypic.
