Arremon flavirostris Swainson
This finch was added to the known victims of the shiny cowbird by Gunnar Hoy, who informs us that he found a nest containing 2 eggs of the host and 1 of the shiny cowbird at Lesser, Salta, Argentina, 22 December 1974. The record involves the host subspecies A. flavirostris d'orbignii, and the nominate race of the parasite.
