A bird perched on an inflorescence. Published in HBW Volume 16 on page 63. Original HBW caption: The northernmost race of the Golden-hooded Tanager (above) occurs from the Caribbean slope of south-eastern Mexico southwards. The colours are richest in this northern race and become gradually paler, being palest in the southernmost subspecies (fanny) of eastern Panama, Colombia and western Ecuador. The Goldenhooded Tanager is relatively unusual for a Tangara species in being an infrequent or only transitory member of mixed-species flocks. The Yellow-bellied Tanager (below) is more typical in being frequently found in flocks including other Tangara species. (Some Tangara tanagers are found more often in groups with other members of their genus than with their own species.) A small, heavily spotted green tanager with a bright yellow belly, the Yellowbellied Tanager gets its spotted appearance in part from the greenishblue edges of the otherwise black feathers of its back, wings and tail. The feathers of its head and neck are, similarly, black with bright emerald-green edges. IBC scientific name: Tangara xanthogastra phelpsi. Original IBC location name and coordinates: Canaima National Park (5.4192,-62.0068). Elevation: 1593 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
