About Pheucticus
Pheucticus is a genus of grosbeaks containing six species. The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850. The type species was subsequently designated as the black-backed grosbeak. The name of the genus is from the Ancient Greek pheuktikos "shy" or "inclined to avoid".
