Ramphocelus
''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.

Silver-beaked Tanager
The silver-beaked tanager (''Ramphocelus carbo'') is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder in South America from eastern Colombia and Venezuela south to Paraguay and central Brazil, Perú and on Trinidad. It is common and conspicuous. Silver-beaked tanagers are long and weigh . Adult males are velvety crimson black with a deep crimson throat and breast. The upper mandible of the bill is black, but the enlarged lower mandible is bright silver in appearance. The bill is pointed upwards in display. The female is much duller, with brownish upperparts, reddish brown underparts and a black bill. There is considerable plumage variation between the various subspecies, differing mainly in the degree of contrast between the upperparts and the throat and breast. It occurs in light woodland and cultivated areas. The bulky cup nest is usually built in a bush, and the normal clutch is two green-blue eggs blotched with black-brown. The female incubates the eggs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crimson-backed Tanager
The crimson-backed tanager (''Ramphocelus dimidiatus'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela, and introduced to French Polynesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest. A nickname in Panama is ''sangre de toro'' ("Blood of the bull"). The crimson-backed tanager was first described by French naturalist Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1837. It is one of nine species of brightly coloured tanagers of the genus ''Ramphocelus''. Mitochondrial DNA evidence indicates its closest relative is the masked crimson tanager (''R. nigrogularis''), and the two split around 800,000 years ago. Measuring around in length, the adult male has a silver sheen on its lower mandible. Its whole head and chest are a maroon red, brightening to a bright red on its lower back and abdomen. Its wings and tail are black. The female is duller with blackish underparts. It is found in norther ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Masked Crimson Tanager
The masked crimson tanager (''Ramphocelus nigrogularis'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical swamps and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. The masked crimson tanager was first described by German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1825. Its species name is derived from the Latin words ''niger'' "black", and ''gularis'' "throated". It is one of nine species of brightly coloured tanagers of the genus ''Ramphocelus''. Mitochondrial DNA evidence indicates its closest relative is the crimson-backed tanager (''R. dimidiatus''), and the two split around 800,000 years ago. Measuring 18 to 19 cm (7–7.5 in) in length, the adult male has a black face, wings, mantle, belly and tail, and is a bright red elsewhere in its plumage. The bill has a silver sheen. The female resembles the male but has a brownish belly and duller plumage overall, while the j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tanager
The tanagers (singular ) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has a Neotropical distribution and is the second-largest family of birds. It represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical birds. Traditionally, the family contained around 240 species of mostly brightly colored fruit-eating birds. As more of these birds were studied using modern molecular techniques, it became apparent that the traditional families were not monophyletic. ''Euphonia'' and ''Chlorophonia'', which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of the Fringillidae, in their own subfamily (Euphoniinae). Likewise, the genera ''Piranga'' (which includes the scarlet tanager, summer tanager, and western tanager), '' Chlorothraupis'', and '' Habia'' appear to be members of the cardinal family, and have been reassigned to that family by the American Ornithological Society.

Ramphocelus Sanguinolentus
The crimson-collared tanager (''Ramphocelus sanguinolentus'') is a rather small Middle American songbird. It was first described by the French naturalist René-Primevère Lesson in 1831, its specific epithet from the Latin adjective ''sanguinolentus'', "bloodied", referring to its red plumage. Taxonomy This species is sometimes placed in a genus of its own as ''Phlogothraupis sanguinolenta'', and a genetic study suggests that it is less closely related to the other ''Ramphocelus'' tanagers than they are to each other. Its closest relative is the masked crimson tanager. Description Crimson-collared tanagers average long. The adult plumage is black with a red collar covering the nape, neck, and breast (remarkably similar to the pattern of the male crimson-collared grosbeak). All tail coverts are also red. The bill is striking pale blue and the legs are blue-gray. In adults, the irides are crimson, contrary to what is shown in Howell and Webb. Females average slightly duller t ...

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).
