Slaty Brushfinch

Atlapetes schistaceus (= Atlapetes schistaceus schistaceus) (Boissonneau, A 1840)

The slaty brushfinch is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in humid Andean forests from western Venezuela, through Colombia, to Ecuador, with a disjunct population in central Peru. The latter is sometimes considered a separate species, the Taczanowski's brushfinch. Furthermore, the Cuzco brushfinch from south-eastern Peru is sometimes considered a subspecies of the slaty brush finch. Source: Wikipedia
