Yellow Grosbeak (Pheucticus chrysopeplus)
About the Yellow Grosbeak
The yellow grosbeak (Pheucticus chrysopeplus) is a bird in the family Cardinalidae, the cardinals, grosbeaks, and “tanager” allies. It is found in Mexico and Guatemala. It also occurs as a vagrant in the United States. The yellow grosbeak was formally described in 1832 with the binomial Cocothraustes chrysopeplus. Some authors have treated it, the black-thighed grosbeak (P. tibialis), and the golden grosbeak (P. chrysogaster) as conspecific. The yellow grosbeak has three subspecies, the nominate P. c. chrysopeplus (Vigors, 1832), P. c. dilutus (Van Rossem, 1934), and P. c. aurantiacus (Salvin & Godman, 1891).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 82 recordings for this species: 5 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.
