Genovesa Ground Finch (Geospiza acutirostris)
About the Genovesa Ground Finch
The Genovesa ground finch (Geospiza acutirostris) is a small bird native to the Galápagos Islands. It was considered a subspecies of the sharp-beaked ground finch (Geospiza difficilis) endemic to Genovesa Island. The International Ornithologists' Union has split the species. Other taxonomic authorities still consider it conspecific. In the whole-genome phylogeny of Lamichhaney et al. (2017), G. acutirostris is shown to be very far from G. difficilis. In fact, G. difficilis does not fall in the same part of the tree as other Geospiza.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 1 recording for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
