    Sorry, had to re-identify because we already had a species record under a different name. I now merged the records. Posted one year ago

      No problem. I thought it was an existing species, but it would not let me identify it as such. Posted one year ago

The House Finch

The House Finch is a bird in the finch family Fringillidae, which is found in North America. This species and the other "American rosefinches" are usually placed in the rosefinch genus "Carpodacus". It has been proposed to place them in a distinct genus "Burrica", but the American Ornithologists Union rejected a proposal to do so in 2008.
