Slaty-capped Shrike-Vireo Vireolanius leucotis Scientific name definitions

The Slaty-capped Shrike-Vireo is a handsome songbird of northern South America. It is distributed widely in lowland northern South America, primarily east of the Andes, but also west of the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador, inhabiting canopy of humid forest below 1800 meters in elevation. It is olive above and yellow below with stout, gray bill, a blue-gray head marked by a broad-yellow superciliary, yellow eye arc under the eye, and pale yellow irides. Slaty-capped Shrike-Vireos can be detected most easily by their loud, ringing, repetitive song given from the canopy. There appears to be absolutely nothing known concerning the breeding biology of this species.
