Serinus serinus
See Carduelis cannabina for comments on the generic placement of species in the genus Carduelis and related genera.
Note: the etymology of the word "serinus" is unclear. Some argue that it
traces from Latin "siren" and alludes to the song of the bird and its
relatives. Others derive the word from Latin "serenus, -a, -um" which
means "clear, bright, happy". Given its unclear origin, I prefer to
interpret the word as a name, and thus as a noun in apposition that does not change its
ending in
relation to the gender of the genus name.
