Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Fringillidae > Crithagra > Crithagra dorsostriataCrithagra dorsostriata (White-bellied Canary)Synonyms: Serinus dorsostriatus The white-bellied canary (Crithagra dorsostriatus) is a species of finch in the Fringillidae family.It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.Its natural habitat is dry savanna. The white-bellied canary was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic. The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the white-bellied canary were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra. |
