Acanthis flammea

Michel Catalog Number ; 2732
The Lesser Redpoll, Carduelis cabaret (Acanthis flammea) is a small passerinebird belonging to the genus Carduelis in the finch family, Fringillidae. It is the smallest, brownest and most streaked of the redpolls. It is often classified as a subspecies of the Common Redpoll, Carduelis flammea, but has recently been split from that species by several authorities such as the British Ornithologists'Union. It is native to Europe and has been introduced to New Zealand. Many birds migrate further south in winter, but the mild climate means that it can be found all year round in much of its range, and may be joined by the other two redpoll species in winter.
