Which two finches could temporarily occupy the same niche?
Two finches that could temporarily occupy the same niche are the medium ground finch and small ground finch on the Galapagos Islands.

But they now are grouped with tanagers into the Thraupidae family.Their specific scientific nameinvolves the genus to which they belong. It's the equivalent of a person's last name. It also involves the species, which somewhat may be thought of as a loose first name. For example, the species name is always Geospiza. But there are six sets of species names. The large cactus finch is Geospiza conirostris, the sharp beaked ground finch Geospiza difficilis,* the medium ground finch Geospiza fortis, the small ground finch Geospiza fuliginosa, the large ground finch Geospiza magnirostris, and the common cactus finch Geospiza scandens.There's a subcategory that's called the vampire finch [Geospiza difficilis septentrionalis].
