White-bellied Canary

Crithagra dorsostriata

The white-bellied canary (Crithagra dorsostriata) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae.

It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Its natural habitat is dry savanna.

The white-bellied canary was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic. The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the white-bellied canary were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.
