The hooded grosbeak (Hesperiphona abeillei) is a passerine bird in the finch family found in the highlands of Central America, principally in Mexico and Guatemala.[2]
This is a medium large grosbeak with a large bill. The male has a black head and bright yellow upper parts. The female is less brightly coloured and has a smaller black cap.[3]
The species was briefly described by the French naturalist René Lesson in 1839 under the binomial name Guiraca abaillei.[4] The International Ornithologists' Union now assigns the hooded grosbeak together with the closely related evening grosbeak to the genus Hesperiphona.[5] This genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1850.[6]
Some authorities place these two grosbeak species together with the hawfinch in the genus Coccothraustes.[7]
