The Tucumán mountain finch (Compsospiza baeri) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. 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.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.
