[ Fringilla rufirostris Wied ]

Allen (1889b: 223) did not find a type of F. rufirostris ( Wied, 1830: 581) in AMNH, nor did I. In the original description, Wied (1830: 584) questioned his new name, saying that it differed only in bill color from Pyrrhula cinerea [cinereola?] Temm. and that his birds were perhaps younger. Hellmayr (1938: 181) considered the name a synonym of Sporophila leucoptera cinereola ( Temminck, 1820) .
