Spot-crowned Euphonia (Euphonia imitans)
About the Spot-crowned Euphonia
The spot-crowned euphonia (Euphonia imitans) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The spot-crowned euphonia was originally described in 1936 with the binomial Tanagra imitans and the English name "tawny-bellied euphonia". The genus Tanagra (Tangara) is a member of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers, where the species remained after being reassigned to genus Euphonia. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in Euphonia being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae. The spot-crowned euphonia is monotypic.
