Quick Facts Conservation status, Scientific classification ...

It is found in the Philippines in the areas of Mount Katanglad and Mount Apo.[2][3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.

The Mindanao serin was formerly considered conspecific with the Indonesian serin (Chrysocorythus estherae), together called the mountain serin, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021.[4]

The Mindanao Serin was first described by S. Dillon Ripley and D. S. Rabor from an adult male collected in 1960 by R. B. Gonzales. The original description also includes a color illustration by Robert Verity Clem, and the type is located in the Yale Peabody Museum.[5]
