Paroaria
''Paroaria'', the red-headed cardinals or cardinal-tanagers (as they are not close to the Cardinalidae), are a genus of tanagers. They were until recently placed in the family (biology), family Emberizidae. Five or six species are placed here. They are all very similar-looking birds, with heads resembling that of a northern cardinal (''Cardinalis cardinalis'', a true member of the Cardinalidae), though they are somewhat more slender, in particular the rather tanager-like bill. Their coloration is also typical; they are quite unlike any Cardinalidae, though they bear a passing resemblance to adult male rose-breasted grosbeak (''Pheucticus ludovicianus''). Like these, they are white below and dark above (grey to blackish in the case of ''Paroaria''). But unlike ''P. ludovicianus'', they have no conspicuous pattern except for the head, which has large amounts of bright red; it may be predominantly so or patterned red-and-black. Almost all ''Paroaria'' have at least a short crest. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Red-capped Cardinal
The red-capped cardinal (''Paroaria gularis'') is a small species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is found in South America. Taxonomy In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the red-capped cardinal in the supplement to his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected in "America". He used the French name ''Le cardinal d'Amérique'' and the Latin name ''Cardinalis americanis''. The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his ''Systema Naturae'' for the twelfth edition he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson in his ''Ornithologie''. One of these was the red-capped cardinal. Linnaeus included a terse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Paroaria Coronata
The red-crested cardinal (''Paroaria coronata'') is a songbird, the species belonging to the family of tanagers (Thraupidae). Notwithstanding its similar name, this bird is not closely related to the true cardinal family (Cardinalidae). It is sometimes known as the Brazilian cardinal. Etymology The genus name ''Paroaria'' comes from the Tupí people and can be translated as “small red, yellow, and gray bird“, while the Latin species name ''coronata'' means ''crowned''. Distribution This species can be found mainly in northern Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul and southern part of the Pantanal. It has also been introduced to Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Chile. In Brazil, it has been introduced to various places outside its historical range, as in the Tietê Ecological Park in São Paulo. Habitat Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and heavily degraded former forest, at an elevation up to above sea level. It often occur ...

Paroaria Nigrogenis
The masked cardinal (''Paroaria nigrogenis'') is a bird species in the tanager family (Thraupidae). It is not very closely related to the cardinals proper (Cardinalidae). It is found in Trinidad, far north-eastern Colombia and northern Venezuela. It was previously considered conspecific with the red-capped cardinal (''Paroaria gularis''), from which it differs by the black ear-coverts and the red (not black) lower throat and upper chest. Additionally, its lower mandible is typically whitish, but this is not entirely consistent, as it occasionally is pale flesh-coloured. This distinctive taxon as a distinct species, as suggested by the lack of hybridization with ''P. g. gularis'' in the limited area of overlap in southern Venezuela. The common name masked cardinal was suggested.Restall ''et al.'' (2006). References * Restall, Robin L.; Rodner, C. & Lentino, M. (2006): ''Birds of Northern South America''.
