- Euphonia affinis
Identification
A tiny (9-11cm) finch with short bill, curved culmen.
- Male is glossy blue-black (the perception of color depending on the light) with a golden-yellow forecrown patch and yellow underparts. The throat and bib are black. Pacific slope birds have a white crissum.
- Female is olive below, with lighter, more yellow breast, and greenish-olive back.
Distribution
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua.
Taxonomy
Once considered to be tanagers, modern classification puts the Euphonias in the finch family.
Habitat
Broadleaf deciduous forests, scrub, brushy fields, and agricultural areas. Prefers drier habitat than other Euphonias.
