About the Rose-breasted Chat
The rose-breasted chat (Granatellus pelzelni) is a species of bird in the family Cardinalidae, the cardinals or cardinal grosbeaks.

Studies of DNA sequences in the early 2000s resulted in its being moved to its present family. The rose-breasted chat and the other two members of its genus, red-breasted chat (G. venustus) and grey-throated chat (G. sallaei) form a superspecies.
The rose-breasted chat has two subspecies, the nominate Granatellus pelzelni pelzelni and G. p. paraensis. The latter might be a species in its own right ("rose-bellied chat"), based on differences in plumage and vocalizations from the nominate.
The nominate rose-breasted chat is 12 to 12.5 cm (4.7 to 4.9 in) long and weighs 10 to 12.5 g (0.35 to 0.44 oz).

It has white flanks separating the blue... Wikipedia →
