Saltator Coerulescens Egg 1847
''Saltator'' is a genus of passerine birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are found in Central and South America. They have thick bills, relatively long tails and strong legs and feet. Before the introduction of molecular genetic methods in the 21st century these species were placed in the cardinal family Cardinalidae. Taxonomy The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 with the buff-throated saltator as the type species. The name is from the Latin ''saltator, saltatoris'' meaning "dancer". The saltators were traditionally grouped with the cardinals, either in the subfamily Cardinalinae within an expanded Emberizidae or in a separate family Cardinalidae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the saltators are embedded within the tanager family Thraupidae. Within the Thraupidae the genus ''Saltator'' is now placed with the genus ''Saltatricula'' in the subfamily Saltatorinae. The relationship of the subfamily to the o ...

Bluish-grey Saltator
The bluish-grey saltator or blue-gray saltator (''Saltator coerulescens'') is a passerine bird in the tanager family Thraupidae that is widespread in the tropical Americas. Taxonomy The bluish-grey saltator was formally described in 1817 by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot under the binomial name ''Saltator coerulescens''. Vieillot based his description on the "Habia de la Ceja Blanca" that Félix de Azara had described in 1802 in his book on birds in Paraguay and the Río de la Plata. The specific epithet ''coerulescens'' is derived from Latin and means "bluish". The cinnamon-bellied (''Saltator grandis'') and olive-grey saltators (''Saltator olivascens'') were previously considered subspecies, together known as the greyish saltator. Description On average, the bluish-grey saltator is 20 cm long and weighs 52 g. The plumage depends on age and subspecies, but in general this bird has grey or greyish-olive upperparts, a white stripe over the eye, a ...
