The Lawrence's Goldfinch, Carduelis lawrencei, is a small songbird of North America. Slightly bigger than the Lesser Goldfinch, and slightly smaller than the American Goldfinch, with less yellow markings than either.
It ranges from central California, and its southern coast, in the United States to Baja California in Mexico.
Females have less yellow and lack the black cap and chin of the males.
This bird's name commemorates the American ornithologist George Newbold Lawrence.
