Re: "the systematics of snowfinches is quite straightforward, while their taxonomy was (and still is) subject to extreme confusion?" It doesn't seem to me that the paragraph on systematics supports this statement. It is saying there are various ways of dividing the species into genera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.130.7.179 (talk) 10:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
