Black-crested Finch (Lophospingus pusillus) [XC50952]
     by Bernabe Lopez-Lanus from San Jose de Las Salinas, Tulumba, Cordoba, Argentina (song)

 
Black-crested Finch (Lophospingus pusillus) [XC609502]
     by Bernabe Lopez-Lanus from Chamical, Chamical, La Rioja, Argentina (song)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Molecular data indicate that genus may be sister to White-banded Tanager (Neothraupis fasciata), and that these in turn are part of a clade which includes also Common Diuca-Finch (Diuca diuca), Paroaria cardinals, Magpie Tanager (Cissopis leverianus) and Schistochlamys tanagers. This would suggest that all should be included in the tanager family (Thraupidae).
