About the Golden-billed Saltator
The golden-billed saltator (Saltator aurantiirostris) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The golden-billed saltator was formally described in 1817 with its current binomial Saltator aurantiirostris. Some twentieth century authors treated it and the black-cowled saltator (S. nigriceps) as conspecific.
The golden-billed saltator has these six subspecies: S. a. iteratus Chapman, 1927 S. a. albociliaris (Philippi & Landbeck, 1861) S. a. hellmayri Bond, J & Meyer de Schauensee, 1939 S. a. aurantiirostris Vieillot, 1817 S. a. parkesi Cardoso da Silva, 1990

Adults of the nominate subspecies S. a. aurantiirostris have a blackish forehead, a gray crown and nape, black lores, face, and ear coverts, and a white supercilium that extends around the rear of the ear coverts. Their upperparts and wings are gray and their tail is gray with thin white edges on... Wikipedia →
