Bigger than the [[Lesser Goldfinch]], and smaller than the [[American Goldfinch]], with less yellow markings than either. It lives from central [[California]] and its southern coast in the [[United States]], to [[Baja California Peninsula|Baja California]] in [[Mexico]]. Females have less yellow and do not have the black cap and chin of the [[male]]s. This bird is named after the American ''ornithologist'' ([[bird]] expert), [[George Newbold Lawrence]]. ==References== {{reflist}} {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Finches]] [[Category:Birds of North America]]
