About

The Antioquia brushfinch (Atlapetes blancae) is a poorly known species of bird from Colombia. It was scientifically described in 2007 on basis of three museum specimens from Antioquia, Colombia, which were previously mislabelled as slaty brushfinches (Atlapetus schistaceus). The specific epithet blancae refers to the whitish underparts of the new species, while also commemorating the Colombian lepidopterologist Blanca Huertas, the wife of ornithologist Thomas M.
