Large-footed Finch (Pezopetes capitalis)
About the Large-footed Finch
The large-footed finch (Pezopetes capitalis) is a species of bird that despite its name is in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The large-footed finch was formally described by Jean Cabanis in 1861 with its current binomial Pezopetes capitalis. Cabanis erected the genus Pezopetes for this species and placed it in the finch family Fringillidae. The large-footed finch eventually was reassigned to its current sparrow family. It remains the only member of the genus and has no subspecies.
