Pyrrhula is a small genus of passerine birds, commonly called bullfinches , belonging to the finch family (Fringillidae ). The genus has a Palearctic distribution; almost all species occur in Asia, with two species exclusively in the Himalayas and one species, P. pyrrhula , also occurring in Europe. The Azores bullfinch (P. murina ) is a critically endangered species (about 120 pairs remaining), occurring only in the east of the island of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago .
The evolution of the bullfinch species started soon after the pine grosbeak's ancestors diverged from them (at the end of the Middle Miocene , about 12 mya ), and it is quite possible that the latter species evolved in North America; what is fairly certain is that the bullfinch radiation started in the general area of the Himalayas. The mountain finches also seem to be part of this clade .[2]
Bullfinches have glossy black wings and tail feathers. They show a white rump. The legs and feet are fleshy brown. Their short, swollen bill is adapted to eat buds, and is black except for the brown bullfinch , which has a grey or greenish-grey bill. The males can be distinguished by their orange or red breast. Some species have a black cap.
Taxonomy [ edit ]
The genus Pyrrhula was introduced in 1760 by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson .[3] [4] tautonymy from the binomial name of the Eurasian bullfinch Loxia pyrrhula introduced by Linnaeus in 1758.[4] [5]
The bullfinches in the genus Pyrrhula are sister to the pine grosbeak , the only species placed in the genus Pinicola [6] [7]
Species [ edit ]
P. p. griseiventris from the Kurile Islands , illustrated by William Matthew Hart , 1888
There are eight extant and one extinct recognized species in the genus:[8] [9]
