Material. USNM PAL 641995, l quadrate lacking orbital process. Collected in the 1990s.

Description. Agrees in general form with species in the Fringillidae and Cardinalidae that have finch-like bill shapes. The limited extent of pneumatization of the caudal surface of the otic process suggests that the quadrate is assignable to Fringillidae not Cardinalidae . In size, it is somewhat smaller than Cardinalis cardinalis .
