The bay-chested warbling finch (Castanozoster thoracicus) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil .

Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Taxonomy

The bay-chested warbling finch was formally described in 1835 by the Finnish naturalist Alexander von Nordmann from a specimen collected in Brazil. He coined the binomial name Frigilla thoracica.[2] This species was traditionally placed in the genus Poospiza.[3] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus was polyphyletic.[4] In the subsequent reorganisation the bay-chested warbling finch was moved to its own newly erected genus Castanozoster. The name combines the Ancient Greek καστανό meaning "chestnut" with ζωστήρ meaning "belt".[5][6] The bay-chested warbling finch is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[6]
