Yellow-billed Blue Finch © fineartamerica.com

Often placed in family Cardinalidae because of resemblance to Passerina, and has sometimes been included in that genus. Molecular data suggest that its closest relative may be Band-tailed Sierra-Finch (Corydospiza alaudina) and that both belong with the tanagers (Thraupidae). These two species are united by structure, bill shape, some aspects of coloration, and song, and both should probably be shifted to a new genus, for which the name Corydospiza is available (and which has priority over present genus).
