About the Golden-bellied Euphonia
The white-lored euphonia or golden-bellied euphonia (Euphonia chrysopasta) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The white-lored euphonia was originally described in 1869 with its current binomial Euphonia chrysopasta. The genus Euphonia had long placed in the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in its being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
The white-lored euphonia has two subspecies, the nominate E. c. chrysopasta (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1869) and E. c. nitida (Penard, TE, 1923). The white-lored euphonia is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs about 11 to 16 g (0.39 to 0.56 oz). It has a thick bill. The species is sexually dimorphic but not dramatically so. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have an olive forecrown with a thin dusky front border and a grayish crown and nape. Their lores, chin, and cheeks are ashy whitish gray and the rest of their face is olive-green. Their upperparts... Wikipedia →
