Citril finch
The citril finch (''Carduelis citrinella''), also known as the Alpine citril finch, is a small songbird, a member of the true finch family Fringillidae. For a long time, this cardueline finch was placed in the genus ''Serinus'', but it is apparently very closely related to the European goldfinch (''C. carduelis'').〔Arnaiz-Villena A; Álvarez-Tejado M; Ruiz-del-Valle V; García-de-la-Torre C; Varela P; Recio MJ; Ferre S & Martínez-Laso J.

This bird is a resident breeder in the mountains of southwestern Europe from Spain to the Alps. Its northernmost breeding area is found in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany. Individuals recorded further north are probably escaped from captivity, as most such records are from some time ago. For example, Staatliches Museum für Tierkunde Dresden specimen 582 is a first-year male shot supposedly in Saxony earlier than 1849; that museum's specimen 21956 was the skull of another citril finch presumably taken in Saxony 1915, but it was destroyed in World War II.〔Förschler & Kalko (2006b), Töpfer (2007)〕
==Taxonomy==
The citril finch was described by the German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas in 1764 under the binomial name ''Fringilla citrinella''. ''Citrinella'' is the Italian word for a small yellow bird. It is a diminutive of the Latin ''citrinus'' meaning citrine or light greenish-yellow. The Corsican finch (''Carduelis corsicana'') was at one time considered as a subspecies of the citril finch but is now treated a separate species. Molecular genetic studies have shown that the citril finch is closely related to the European goldfinch (''Carduelis carduelis'').
