As I understood Fringilla dufresni and Coccopygia dufresnii are not the same birds. Or am I wrong?
I think it is correct and everthing in accordance with t.2 (1833) - Nouvelles annales du Muséum d'histoire naturelle - Biodiversity Heritage Library and Recherche - Base de données Léonore or https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00033797000203397 or Papers of Louis Dufresne - Archives Hub Louis Dufresne, jefe del laboratorio de Taxidermia del Museo de París.
I am just wondering where he died as I couldn't find any hint in Filae that he died in Paris. He may have been burried there.

Dufresne's Amazon Amazona dufresniana Shaw, 1812 [Alt. Blue-cheeked Amazon]
Dufresne's Waxbill Coccopygia melanotis Temminck, 1823 [Alt. Swee Waxbill, Yellow-bellied Waxbill; Syn. Estrilda melanotis]
Louis Dufresne (1752–1832) was a French ornithologist and taxidermist and one of the French ornithologist and taxidermist and one of the one of the naturalists on L'Astrolabe's voyage of discovery (1785–1787). This expedition visited Madeira, Tenerife, Trinidad, the coast of Brazil, Cape Horn, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and then to the coast of north-west America and Alaska. Dufresne became a curator at the MNHN, Paris (1793), ), and he continued to travel on behalf of the museum. A claim to fame was popularising arsenic in the preparation of skins (1802), which helped build the greatest collection of bird specimens in the world at that time. His private collection held over 1,600 birds, 800 eggs and hundreds of other specimens and fossils that he sold to the University of Edinburgh (1819). Dufresne was awarded the Legion of Honour (1829). He died of lung disease. A mammal is named after him.
