The Sierra Nevada brushfinch (Arremon basilicus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae.
It lives in the undergrowth of humid forests, especially near the edges, at altitudes of 300 to 1,200 metres (980 to 3,940 ft) in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia.
Taxonomy
The Sierra Nevada brushfinch was often treated as a subspecies of the stripe-headed brushfinch (A. torquatus), but was determined a distinct species on the basis of differences in vocalization, plumage, and genetics. The SACC split the group in 2010.
