Neochmia
Neochmia is a genus of estrildid finches found in Australasia. They are gregarious seed-eaters with short, thick, but pointed bills.
The members are:
- Red-browed finch , Neochmia temporalis (Latham, 1801)
- Crimson finch, Neochmia phaeton (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1841)
- Star finch, Neochmia ruficauda (Gould, 1837)
- Plum-headed finch or cherry finch, Neochmia modesta (Gould, 1837)
The red-browed finch and plum-headed finch are sometimes placed in other genera.
