Sporagra barbataCarduelis barbata The black-chinned siskin (Spinus barbatus) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae.

The rest of the head and the upper parts of the body are yellowish-olive streaked with black.

The head and back are a greyish-olive above with pale yellowish-olive underparts and a whitish belly.

The only other bird with which it is likely to be confused is the hooded siskin (Spinus magellanica); however, that bird is not found so far south, the male has a larger area of black on head and throat, and the female has a yellow rump.

[2] It ranges up to about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) in altitude and inhabits the edges of forests, light woodland and bushy areas, including gardens and urban areas; it is usually seen in flocks and often feeds on the ground.
