Thick-billed Siskin (Spinus crassirostris)
About the Thick-billed Siskin
The thick-billed siskin (Spinus crassirostris) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. The thick-billed siskin was originally described in 1877 with the binomial Chrysomitris crassirostris. It was later moved to what was then the subgenus Spinus within genus Carduelis and also spent time in genus Sporagra. Beginning in about 2009 the subgenus was elevated to full genus level and the yellow-rumped siskin, the rest of the New World siskins, and the New World goldfinches were therefore elevated to now-genus Spinus.
