Cinereous in nature Birds * The colour name ''cinereous'' is used especially in the names of birds with ash grey plumage with a slight coppery brown tinge, including the cinereous antshrike (''Thamnomanes caesius''), cinereous becard (''Pachyramphus rufus''), cinereous bunting (''Emberiza cineracea''), cinereous conebill (''Conirostrum cinereum''), cinereous finch (''Piezorhina cinerea''), cinereous ground-tyrant (''Muscisaxicola cinereus''), cinereous harrier (''Circus cinereus''), cinereous mourner (''Laniocera hypopyrra''), cinereous-breasted spinetail (''Synallaxis hypospodia''), cinereous tinamou (''Crypturellus cinereus''), cinereous tyrant (''Knipolegus striaticeps''), ciner ...

Cinereous Vulture
The cinereous vulture (''Aegypius monachus'') is a large raptor in the family Accipitridae and distributed through much of temperate Eurasia. It is also known as the black vulture, monk vulture and Eurasian black vulture. With a body length of , across the wings and a maximum weight of , it is the largest Old World vulture and largest member of the Accipitridae family. Taxonomy The genus name ''Aegypius'' is a Greek word (αἰγυπιός) for 'vulture', or a bird not unlike one; Aelian describes the ''aegypius'' as "halfway between a vulture (''gyps'') and an eagle". Some authorities think this a good description of a lammergeier; others do not. Aegypius is the eponym of the species, whatever it was in ancient Greek. The English name 'black vulture' refers to the plumage colour, while 'monk vulture', a direct translation of its German name Mönchsgeier, refers to the bald head and ruff of neck feathers like a monk's cowl.

Shades Of Gray
Variations of gray or grey include achromatic grayscale shades, which lie exactly between white and black, and nearby colors with low colorfulness. A selection of a number of these various colors is shown below. Chart of computer web color grays Below is a chart showing the computer web color grays. An ''achromatic gray'' is a gray color in which the red, green, and blue codes are exactly equal. The web colors ''gray'', ''gainsboro'', ''light gray'', ''dark gray'', and ''dim gray'' are all achromatic colors. A ''chromatic gray'' is a gray color in which the red, green, and blue codes are not exactly equal, but are close to each other, which is what makes it a shade of gray. White and black The colors white and black are not usually thought of as shades of gray, but they can be thought of as shades of achromatic gray, as both contain equal amounts of red, blue and green. White is at the extreme upper end of the achromatic value scale and black is at the extreme lower end ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cinereous Mourner
The cinereous mourner (''Laniocera hypopyrra'') is a species of bird in the family Tityridae. The term ''cinereous'' describes its colouration. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where now placed by SACC. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. French naturalist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot described the species in 1817. Nestlings of this species are orange with long filoplumes that end in white tips and have a resemblance to hairy caterpillars of a moth belonging to the family Megalopygidae. The young birds move their heads slowly from side to side which are thought to enhance the impression by resembling a moving caterpillar. It is thought that this may be the first case of Batesian mimicry Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has ...

Cinereous Tinamou
The cinereous tinamou (''Crypturellus cinereus''), also known as brushland tinamou, is a type of ground bird found in swamp and lowland forests in northern South America. They have some localized names that have been used by the indigenous people such as in Amazonas where they are called ''inambu-pixuna'', and in Pará, Brazil where they are called ''nambu-sujo''. Also, throughout their range they are called ''inhambu-preto''. Cinereous tinamous have been around for many centuries. They are part of the oldest families of the world today and have fossils discovered dating back tens of millions of years. Their quick reflexes play a role in their ability to survive. Taxonomy The cinereous tinamou was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's '' Systema Naturae''. He placed it with all the grouse like birds in the genus ''Tetrao'' and coined the binomial name ''Tetrao cinereus''. Gmelin base ...
