Cocos Island Finch © hallmarktrip.weebly.com

Molecular data support original assertion that this species is part of the group known as "Darwin's finches" (incorporating also Certhidea, Platyspiza, Camarhynchus and Geospiza), the only one not found in Galapagos Archipelago. As such, it is allied to the tanagers (Thraupidae), being closest to Coereba, Tiaris and several Caribbean genera.
