Arremon
''Arremon'' is a genus of neotropical birds in the family Passerellidae. With the exception of the green-striped brushfinch which is endemic to Mexico, all species are found in South America, with a few reaching Central America. These sparrows are found in lowland woodlands and forests where they usually forage on the ground. They have olive or grey upperparts with a black head. Many have a white line above the eye and some have a black band across the breast. Taxonomy The genus ''Arremon'' was erected in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in his ''Analyse d'une Nouvelle Ornithologie Élémentaire'' to accommodate the pectoral sparrow (''Arremon taciturnus''). The name is from the Ancient Greek ''arrhēmōn'' meaning "silent" or "without speech". The pectoral sparrow had been given the French name "L'Oiseau Silencieux" by the polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (; 7 September 1707 – 16 April 1788) ...

Grey-browed Brushfinch
The grey-browed brushfinch, or gray-stripped brushfinch, (''Arremon assimilis'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It lives in the undergrowth of humid forest, especially near the edges, at altitudes of in the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and most of Peru.

Pectoral Sparrow
The pectoral sparrow (''Arremon taciturnus'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The yellow-mandibled sparrow was formerly considered as a subspecies. Taxonomy The pectoral sparrow was described in 1779 by French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' under the French name "L'Oiseau Silencieux". It was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate that was produced to accompany Buffon's book. Buffon did not use binomial names but in 1783 the French naturalist Johann Hermann coined the name ''Tanagra taciturna''. The specific epithet ''taciturnus'' is the Latin word for "silent" or "quiet". The species is now placed in the genus ''Arremon'' that was erected by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 with the pectoral sparrow as the type specie ...

Arremon Castaneiceps
The olive finch (''Arremon castaneiceps'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. Until recently, it was placed in the genus '' Lysurus''. It is found in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and far northern Peru where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The olive finch is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List. The olive finch is related to the sooty-faced finch and ornithologist Carl Eduard Hallmayr even suggested they should be classified as the same species. Distribution and habitat The olive finch is found in humid, low mountain forests, often near ravines, forest edges, rivers, and streams. It is found at elevations between 700-2200 meters in Columbia, 800-1800 m in Ecuador, and 750-1800 m in Peru. Appearance The olive finch has olive green plumage with a chestnut crown and nape.
