Slaty brushfinch

The slaty brushfinch (Atlapetes schistaceus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in humid Andean forests from western Venezuela, through Colombia, to Ecuador. Taczanowski's brushfinch (A. taczanowskii) of central Peru was formerly treated as a subspecies. Furthermore, the Cuzco brushfinch from south-eastern Peru is sometimes considered a subspecies of the slaty brush finch.
