Ramphocelus Carbo-20090208
''Ramphocelus'' is a Neotropical genus of birds of the tanager family. They have enlarged shiny whitish or bluish-grey lower mandibles, which are pointed upwards in display. However, this is greatly reduced in the females of most species. Males are black and red, orange or yellow, while females resemble a duller version of the males, or are brownish or greyish combined with dull red, orange or yellowish. ''Ramphocelus'' tanagers are found in semi-open areas. The nest is a cup built by the female of plant materials such as moss, rootlets, and strips of large leaves like banana or ''Heliconia'', and is often in a fairly open site in a tree. The female usually lays pale blue eggs, with grey, brown or lavender spots, and the young stay in the nest for only about 12 days. The songs of this genus are repetitions of rich one- or two-syllable whistles. ''Ramphocelus'' tanagers hunt at forest edges or in second growth, taking insects in flight or picking them from leaves.

Brazilian Tanager
The Brazilian tanager (''Ramphocelus bresilius'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and far northeastern Argentina, occurring in the coastal region from Paraíba and southwards to Santa Catarina and Misiones. The Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus described the Brazilian tanager in 1766 in the twelfth edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. He coined the binomial name ''Tanagra bresilia''. It is now placed in the genus ''Ramphocelus'' which was introduced by the French zoologist Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1805. The Brazilian tanager is a typical member of the family, with a heavy bill and sexually dimorphic plumage. It is long and weighs . The plumage of the male is bright red with black wings and a black tail. The bill is black above and pale below. The female is mostly grey-brown with a brown-red belly and breast.Hilty, S. (2017).

Flame-rumped Tanager
The flame-rumped tanager (''Ramphocelus flammigerus'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in semi-open forest and woodland. The most widespread subspecies, ''icteronotus'', is found in the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and is sometimes considered a separate species, the lemon-rumped tanager (''R. icteronotus''). However, it is known to hybridize with the nominate subspecies from the Cauca Valley in Colombia. Males of both subspecies have a mainly black plumage Plumage ( "feather") is a layer of feathers that covers a bird and the pattern, colour, and arrangement of those feathers.

Scarlet-rumped Tanager
The scarlet-rumped tanager (''Ramphocelus passerinii'') is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder in the Caribbean lowlands from southern Mexico to western Panama. This species was formerly known as the scarlet-rumped tanager, but was renamed to Passerini's Tanager after Carlo Passerini, a professor at the Museum of Zoology of the University of Florence, when the distinctive form found on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama was reclassified as a separate species, the Cherrie's tanager, ''Ramphocelus costaricensis''. While most authorities had accepted this split, there were notable exceptions (e.g. the Howard and Moore checklist). It was renamed back to the scarlet-rumped tanager in 2018 when Cherrie's Tanager was lumped back into the species. Description The adult Scarlet-rumped tanager is 16 cm long and weighs 31 g. The adult male is mainly black except for a scarlet rump, silvery bill and dark red iris. The female has a grey hea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
