About the Plain-tailed Warbling Finch
The plain-tailed warbling finch (Microspingus alticola) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. The plain-tailed warbling finch was described in 1895 by English ornithologist Osbert Salvin from a specimen collected by Oscar Theodor Baron near the town of Huamachuco in La Libertad, Peru. He originally described it in the genus Poospiza, but it was later moved to Microspingus. It is monotypic.
