Phylogeny
    
The streaky seedeater was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic.[2] The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the streaky seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.[3][4]

In the Degua Tembien mountains, the bird was found to be a breeding resident of woodland edges, scrubland and forest edges.[5]
