<span class="mw-page-title-main">Antioquia brushfinch</span> Species of bird

The Antioquia brushfinch is a poorly known species of bird from the family Passerellidae. It was scientifically described in 2007 on basis of three museum specimens from Antioquia, Colombia, which were previously labelled as slaty brushfinches. The specific epithet blancae refers to the whitish underparts of the new species, while also commemorating the Colombian lepidopterologist Blanca Huertas, the wife of ornithologist Thomas M. Donegan. All three museum skins were collected in the 20th century, but only one label has a date, which is given as 1971. Subsequent fieldwork in Antioquia has failed to find this species again. The species description has been approved by the South American Classification Committee. It has been recommended for a critically endangered status.

Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park was located in the Guayana Highlands, within Bolívar State of southeastern Venezuela. It was established in 1978. It has been subsumed within Caura National Park, which was established in 2017.
