Rufous-naped Brush-Finch

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes and heavily degraded former forest.

The Rufous-naped Brush-Finch is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Rufous-naped Brush-Finch" is too long and awkward; "Cloud-forest Brush-Finch" is only slightly shorter and somewhat innacurate; and Gary's proposed "Rusty-naped Brush-Finch" suffers when one considers the subspecies baroni, which does not have a rusty nape. A good toponym is not obvious, nor is there any diagnostic plumage character that I can think of. I'd say keep "Yellow-breasted" for latinuchus, retain "Bolivian" for rufinucha, and if baroni proves to be distinct, it could be called Baron's Brush-Finch. More
