En esta familia se ubican los pinzones, jilgueritos, eufonías y parientes. Es pariente próximo del jilguero yanqui y del jilguero gris.
Mide entre 10 y 11 cm de longitud y pesa en promedio 9,5 g. Los machos se reconocen por el amarillo brillante de su cuello, pecho y vientre y las notorias bandas blancas en las alas y cola. Las hembras y ejemplares juveniles tienen las parte superiores de color gris oliváceo y las inferiores amarillentas, más pálidas en los ejemplares jóvenes.
Habita desde las costas del estado de Washington y el suroccidente de los Estados Unidos, así como en México y Centroamérica, hasta Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú. En invierno migra de los lugares fríos de EE. UU. En México se le ha observado en todos los estados del país. Su hábitat preferido son los árboles y arbustos con excepción de los del bosque denso o la selva; es frecuente encontrarlo cerca de casas y dondequiera que haya cardos. Esta especie de jilguerito no se encuentra listada en la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010.
