The Guerrero brush finch (Arremon kuehnerii) is a species of
. The species was named in honor of Mr. Carl Kuehner, a member of the board of directors of the U.S. National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.It is only known from the
green-striped brush finch (A. virenticeps), another Mexican endemic. The physical similarities between A. kuehnerii and A. brunneinucha despite the relation to A virenticeps are likely due to A. kuehnerii (but not A. virenticeps) retaining an ancestral phenotype similar to that of the A. brunneinucha species complex.[1][2]
The Guerrero brushfinch is not included on the online list of world birds maintained by
