The bullfinch, common bullfinch or Eurasian bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch. The Eurasian bullfinch was listed in 1758 by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Loxia pyrrhula. The closest relative of the bullfinches is genus Pinicola (pine grosbeak and crimson-browed finch). Order: Passeriformes, Family: Fringillidae, Genus: Pyrrhula, Species: Pyrrhula pyrrhula (Linnaeus, 1758)
