No. The Junco hyemalis is a type of finch. The Clangula hyemalis is a long tailed duck. The second part of the name for both comes from the Latin 'hiems', meaning winter.
The Junco is the best-known species of the Juncos, a small grayish American sparrow. This bird is found across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic. Hence the name hyemalis for the range to the far north.
The Clangula hyemalis is circumpolar sea duck with long tail feathers. It breeds on the Arctic coasts of North America (Canada, Alaska, USA and Greenland), Europe (Iceland and Norway), and Asia(Russia). It winters at sea further south.
Sparrows and ducks are birds, of course, but they are not closely related.
