Anotations

Scope note:

General term referring to members of hundreds of species of small, conical-billed, seed-eating songbirds belonging to several families in the order Passeriformes, including true finches of the Fringillidae family, as well as waxbills, buntings, American sparrows, and Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, from the Emberizidae, Estrildidae, Carduelidae, and Ploceidae families. Although not closely related, finches are very similar-looking and typically have patches of bright color.
