}}Phrygilus[1] is a genus of mainly Andean seed-eating tanagers commonly known as sierra finches. Phrygilos means finch in Ancient Greek.[2] Sometimes classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown them to belong in the Thraupidae.[3] The genus appears to be polyphyletic[4] consisting of at least three distinct lineages which in future may need to be split into separate genera. Species listGroup 1 - The "hooded" group. Related to yellow finches Sicalis- Black-hooded sierra finch, Phrygilus atriceps
- Peruvian sierra finch, Phrygilus punensis
- Grey-hooded sierra finch, Phrygilus gayi

Group 2 - Upperparts mostly grey, underparts white. Sexes similar. Related to a clade containing both the "hooded" group and Sicalis olivascens- Red-backed sierra finch, Phrygilus dorsalis
