Chrysocorythus mindanensis (Ripley & Rabor, 1961)

The Mindanao serin (Chrysocorythus mindanensis) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae.
It is found in the Philippines in the areas of Mount Katanglad and Mount Apo. [2] [3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.
The Mindanao serin was formerly considered conspecific with the Indonesian serin (Chrysocorythus estherae), together called the mountain serin, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021. [4]
The Mindanao Serin was first described by S. Dillon Ripley and D. S. Rabor from an adult male collected in 1960 by R. B. Gonzales. The original description also includes a color illustration by Robert Verity Clem, and the type is located in the Yale Peabody Museum. [5]
