The Tucumán Mountain-finch (Compsospiza baeri) is a species of bird in the Thraupidae family. It is endemic to shrubby woodland in the Andes of north-western Argentina, but it is possible its distribution extends marginally into adjacent Bolivia. Together with the closely related Cochabamba Mountain-finch, it was formerly placed in the genus Poospiza.[1] It is threatened by habitat loss.
