The yellow-rumped seedeater, yellow-rumped serin or Abyssinian yellow-rumped seedeater (Crithagra xanthopygia) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is native to the Ethiopian Highlands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
The yellow-rumped seedeater was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic. [2] The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the yellow-rumped seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra . [3] [4]
