Happy Darwin Day!

Description

Looks like I found out about it on time this year. 
Because it's late already I decided to do a little speed drawing for fun. 15 minutes for this one. The beak didn't turn out exactly how it should look though, but oh well, it's late already.

The large ground finch (Geospiza magnirostris) from the Galapagos islands. Note though that the fifteen species of "Darwin's finches" aren't finches but actually belong to the tanager family which aren't closely related to true finches. 
Quality is crap. I had to take a picture with my cellphone because the scanner won't work and the camera is borrowed by somebody else. And otherwise I had to wait untill next year to post this... (will update it when the scanner works again)

"Note though that the fifteen species of "Darwin's finches" aren't finches but actually passerines."

But I thought finches WERE passerines. In fact, I'm looking at the Wikipedia page right now, and it still says they are passerines.
