Finsch's euphonia (Euphonia finschi) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela.

Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in its being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
Finsch's euphonia is monotypic. Finsch's euphonia is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs 10 to 11 g (0.35 to 0.39 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic.

Their flight feathers are purplish black with white bases on the inner web. The upper side of their tail is dark... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Finsch's Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (66 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
