The white-browed brush finch (Arremon torquatus) is a species of bird in the Emberizidae family. It is found in north-western Argentina, Bolivia, and southern Peru. It is generally common in forest and dense second growth, mainly at altitudes of 2,000 to 3,000 metres (6,600 to 9,800 ft), but locally it occurs at far lower altitudes.[2] It previously was considered the nominate subspecies of the stripe-headed brush finch.

Taxonomy

Until recently, the white-browed brush finch was placed in the genus Buarremon.[3]

Considerable racial variation existed in the formerly named stripe-headed brush finch, and based on ecology, morphology, song, and molecular work it was recently suggested that it be split into eight species.[4]
