Orange-crowned Euphonia (Euphonia saturata)
About the Orange-crowned Euphonia
The orange-crowned euphonia (Euphonia saturata) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The orange-crowned euphonia was originally described in 1861 with the binomial Phonasca saturata. It was eventually reassigned to genus Euphonia that had been erected in 1806. 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. Some early twentieth century authors treated the orange-crowned euphonia, Finsch's euphonia (E. finschi), and the velvet-fronted euphonia (E. concinna) as conspecific. The orange-crowned euphonia is monotypic.
