The grey-capped greenfinch or Oriental greenfinch (''Chloris sinica'') is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It nests in trees or bushes, laying 3-5 eggs. In 1766 Linnaeus included the species in the 12th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' under the binomial name, ''Fringilla sinica''. Five subspecies are now recognised: * '' C. s. ussuriensis'' Hartert, 1903 – northeastern China, Korea and eastern Siberia * '' C. s. kawarahiba'' (Temminck, 1836) – Kamchatka Peninsula, Kuril Islands and northeastern Hokkaido * '' C. s. minor'' (Temminck & Schlegel, 1848) – Japan: southern Hokkaido to Kyushu * '' C. s. kittlitzi'' (Seebohm, 1890) – Bonin Islands including Iwo Jima * '' C. s. sinica'' (Linnaeus, 1766) – central and eastern China to central Vietnam The grey-capped greenfinch was formerly placed in the genus ''Carduelis'' but was moved to ''Chloris'' with the other greenfinches.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grey-capped greenfinch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
