The short-tailed finch (Idiopsar brachyurus) is a species of bird previously placed in the Emberizidae family, but it appears to be related to the sierra finches Phrygilus of the tanager family Thraupidae and is now placed there. It is the only member of its genus, Idiopsar.
It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.
