The Cinereous Finch (Piezorhina cinerea) is a species of finch-like bird traditionally placed in the Emberizidae family, but it may be more closely related to the Thraupidae. The term cinereous describes its colouration. It is the only member of its genus, Piezorina. It is found in arid coastal northern Peru, with a single record, presumably a straying bird, from immediately adjacent Ecuador.
