Taczanowski's Brush-finch

Atlapetes taczanowskii

Taczanowski's Brush-finch is a finch species endemic to central Peru. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Slaty finch (Atlapetes schistaceus), but was given separate specific status based on plumage and vocalization differences, as well as the fact that it is separated by 700 km from the nearest population of A. schistaceus.
