Himalayan Greenfinch (Chloris spinoides) in a brown colour morph

Description:

The Brune mutation was established in the Himalayan Greenfinch (Chloris spinoides) over 30 years ago through intraspecific hybridisation with the European Greenfinch (Chloris chloris). We owe this breeding work in particular to Patrick Brizard. The Brunee mutation is sex-linked and recessive.
