Combination word of "common" and "redpoll", Redpoll being the larger family the common redpoll belongs to.

Definition:
The common redpoll (Acanthis flammea) is a species of bird in the finch family.
The common redpoll was listed in 1758 by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Fringilla flammea. The current genus name Acanthis is from the Ancient Greek akanthis, a name for a small now-unidentifiable bird, and flammea is the Latin for "flame-coloured".

The redpolls as a whole are a group of small passerine birds in the finch family Fringillidae, which have characteristic red markings on their heads.
