The Misto Yellow-Finch is a little hard to identify because of confusion with the Saffron Finch. Distinguishing features seem to be its lack of saffron colouring, and lack of stripes on breast in female and juvenile forms.
The Misto Yellow-finch is also regarded as a separate species by some. Like the Saffron Finch it is now placed in the Tanager family rather than with the Buntings.
