A general term for several genera of birds in the family Fringillidae in the order Passeriformes. Originally it was another name for the Japanese macaque. Birds called Mashiko include the genera Leucosticte ( Leucosticte), Uragus (Uragus (illustration)), Carpodacus (Carpodacus), Chaunoproctus ( Chaunoproctus), and Pinicola (Pinicola) , all of which have a unique red plumage. The name Mashiko comes from the fact that this resembles the facial color of the Japanese macaque, but it does not refer to a specific taxonomic group.
