Yellow-crowned Euphonia (Euphonia luteicapilla)
About the Yellow-crowned Euphonia
The yellow-crowned euphonia (Euphonia luteicapilla) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. The yellow-crowned euphonia was originally described in 1861 with the binomial Phonasca luteicapilla. It was eventually reassigned to genus Euphonia. The genus Euphonia had 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 yellow-crowned euphonia is monotypic.
