Hawfinch 
Scientific Name: Coccothraustes coccothraustes
 
The genus and the species names are identical. The first part of the Latin name is from the Greek, kokkos, meaning "grain" and thrauein, meaning "to scatter". See, The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds by John K. Terres (December 1987), pg. 333.
