Arabian Serin
Crithagra rothschildi (Ogilvie-Grant, 1902)
Fringillidae — Finches, Euphonias
Arabian Serin, Crithagra rothschildi, is a finch of the Fringillidae family found in the Sarawat Mountains of western Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It breeds in montane rocky scrub across south-western Saudi Arabia and south-western Yemen, within the western Arabian Peninsula. It was first described by Ogilvie-Grant in 1902. The species was once included in Serinus, but later genetic work led to its transfer to Crithagra. It is also known as the olive-rumped serin.
