Fringillidae — Finches, Euphonias
Black-capped Siskin, Spinus atriceps, is a finch in the family Fringillidae and lives in southern Mexico and western Guatemala. It was first described in 1863 by Salvin. Its range is split, with one part in Chiapas and the other extending into western Guatemala. It is mainly associated with pine-oak, oak and alder woodland, but it also occurs in pine savanna, pasture and farmland. It is a resident bird rather than a migrant, and it is known to feed chiefly on seeds.
