Yellow-striped Brushfinch

Atlapetes citrinellus (Cabanis, 1883)

Yellow-striped Brushfinch, Atlapetes citrinellus, is a passerine of north-west Argentina in South America, where it is confined to the Andes. It was first described by Cabanis in 1883 and belongs to the New World sparrows. Its range runs through Jujuy and Salta south to Catamarca, and it is mainly associated with Yungas forest. It also occurs in alder woodland and secondary growth, usually in the lower layers and along forest margins. It is found from 700 to 3,100 m, and is generally resident, though some birds move downslope in winter.
