Description wikipedia

The scrub euphonia (Euphonia affinis) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found from Mexico to Costa Rica. The scrub euphonia is about 10 cm (3.9 in) long. It weighs 8.5 to 12.8 g (0.30 to 0.45 oz). It has a short stubby bill. The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a small yellow forecrown; the color extends just to the eye. The rest of their head and nape are glossy blue-black with a purplish sheen. Their upperparts are glossy blue-black. Their tail is mostly blackish with white inner webs on the outer two pairs of feathers. Their upperwing coverts and flight feathers are blackish with some dark blue gloss. Their chin and throat are glossy blue-black with a purplish sheen and their breast, belly, and undertail coverts are bright yellow. Adult females have an olive-yellow forehead, a grayish crown and nape, and an olive-yellow face. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive with a gray tinge on the back. Their underparts are mostly olive-yellow with a yellow belly and undertail coverts. Males of subspecies E. a. olmecorum are like the nominate. Females are overall paler than the nominate. Their rump, uppertail coverts, and the edges of their tail feathers are greener. Their underparts are more grayish and their belly a duller yellow. Both sexes of both subspecies have a dark brown iris, a black maxilla with a grayish base, a light bluish gray mandible with a blackish tip, and dark gray legs and feet.

L'Organiste de brousse (Euphonia affinis) ou Euphone des buissons, est une espèce de passereaux de la famille des Fringillidae. Les mâles ont le ventre, la poitrine et le front jaune, alors que le reste de leur plumage est bleu/ noir. Les femelles ont le même plumage que les mâles, sauf que le bleu est remplacé par du verdâtre et le jaune est beaucoup plus pâle. La femelle ressemble aux femelles manakins, tandis que le mâle rappelle Euphonia minuta. Cet oiseau se répartit à travers le sud/est du Mexique et l'Amérique centrale. Cet oiseau peuple aussi bien les forêts et les lisières forestières, que les jardins et les terrains agricoles. On ne le trouve pas au-dessus de 1 000 mètres d'altitude. Cette espèce consomme surtout des baies (gui, figues...)

L'eufonia di macchia (Euphonia affinis (Lesson, 1842)) è un uccello passeriforme della famiglia dei Fringillidi. Misura 9 cm di lunghezza, per 8,5-12,8 g di peso. Si tratta di un uccelletto dall'aspetto robusto, munito di testa arrotondata, becco conico e robusto, ali appuntite e corta coda squadrata. Il piumaggio è di colore nero-bluastro su testa, gola, dorso, ali e coda, mentre la fronte, la parte inferiore del petto, il ventre e il sottocoda sono di colore giallo oro. Nella specie è presente dicromatismo sessuale: le femmine mancano quasi completamente sia del nero dorsale sia di gran parte del giallo ventrale, con la livrea che si presenta dominata dai toni del bruno-grigiastro, più tendente al grigio su dorso e ali (che assieme alla coda presentano le penne in punta nerastre) mentre faccia, petto e ventre sono di colore beige, con decise sfumature giallo-arancio sul basso ventre. In ambedue i sessi il becco e le zampe sono nerastri, mentre gli occhi sono di colore bruno scuro.
