Blue finch

The blue finch or yellow-billed blue finch (Porphyrospiza caerulescens) is a species of small bird. Although it was long classified in the bunting family Emberizidae,[1][2] or the cardinal family Cardinalidae,[3] more recent molecular studies have shown it fits comfortably in the Thraupini tribe within the family Thraupidae.[4] It is assigned to the monotypic genus Porphyrospiza.[2]
It is found in Brazil and northeastern Bolivia, where its natural habitat is dry savanna. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.[1]
