[edit] Identification

[edit] Distribution

Found in the Andes from far western Venezuela, through Colombia and Ecuador, to north-central Peru.

[edit] Taxonomy

Previously considered conspecific with the Rufous-naped Brush-Finch (A. rufinucha, sometimes "Bolivian Brush-Finch") under the name Rufous-naped Brush-Finch (Atlapetes rufinucha). Confusingly, following the split, both A. rufinucha and A. latinuchus are sometimes still referred to as "Rufous-naped Brush-Finch".
