Saffron Finch

Sicalis flaveola

Description:

The male is bright yellow with an orange crown which distinguishes it from most other yellow finches (the exception being the Orange-fronted Yellow-finch). The females are more confusing and are usually just a slightly duller version of the male, but in the southern subspecies S. f. pelzelni they are olive-brown with heavy dark streaks.

Habitat:

This finch lives at Tulsa Zoo, Tulsa, OK, USA.
