About the Plumbeous Euphonia

The plumbeous euphonia (Euphonia plumbea) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, and as a vagrant to French Guiana. The plumbeous euphonia was originally described in 1855 with its current binomial Euphonia plumbea. 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 plumbeous euphonia is monotypic.
