Chestnut-bellied Euphonia (Euphonia pectoralis)
About the Chestnut-bellied Euphonia
The chestnut-bellied euphonia (Euphonia pectoralis) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The chestnut-bellied euphonia was formally described in 1801 with the binomial Pipra pectoralis, mistakenly identifying it as a manakin. The species was eventually reassigned to genus Euphonia. At the time, the genus Euphonia was a member of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in Euphonia being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
