The Yellow Billed Cardinal

The yellow-billed cardinal is a bird species in the tanager family . It was formerly placed in the Emberizidae and is not very closely related to the cardinals proper .

It occurs in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and northern Argentina and has been introduced on the island of Hawai'i. It breeds in moist shrubland. The yellow-billed cardinal could be easily confused with the red-crested cardinal. The yellow-billed cardinal does not have a crest.
