Paria Brushfinch
Arremon phygas
Range-restricted striking sparrow with black head and gray eyebrow. Back and tail olive-yellow, underparts gray; black band across chest. Found alone or in pairs or family groups on ground or at mid-level in dense understory, second growth vegetation at forest edges, and coffee plantations. Song and calls are repetitive and very high-pitched. No similar species in range. Endemic to the Turimiquire and Paria regions of northeastern Venezuela.
分类信息
The Paria brushfinch was often treated as a subspecies of the stripe-headed brushfinch (A. torquatus), but was determined a distinct species, on the basis of differences in vocalization, plumage, and genetics. The SACC split the group in 2010.
