The streaky seedeater (Crithagra striolata) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is native to the eastern Afromontane.
Phylogeny
[edit | edit source]The streaky seedeater was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic.[2] The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the streaky seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.[3][4]
Habitat
[edit | edit source]In the Degua Tembien mountains, the bird was found to be a breeding resident of woodland edges, scrubland and forest edges.[5]
