Fulvous
Fulvous is a colour, sometimes described as dull orange, brownish-yellow or tawny; it can also be likened to a variation of buff, beige or butterscotch. As an adjective it is used in the names of many species of birds, and occasionally other animals, to describe their appearance. It is also used as in mycology to describe fungi with greater colour specificity, specifically the pigmentation of the surface cuticle, the broken flesh and the spores en masse. The first recorded use of ''fulvous'' as a colour name in English was in the year 1664. Fulvous in English is derived from the Latin "fulvus", a term that can be recognised in the scientific binomials of several species, and can provide a clue to their colouration.

Fulvous Whistling Duck
The fulvous whistling duck or fulvous tree duck (''Dendrocygna bicolor'') is a species of whistling duck that breeds across the world's tropical regions in much of Mexico and South America, the West Indies, the southern United States, sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent. It has plumage that is mainly reddish brown, long legs and a long grey bill, and shows a distinctive white band across its black tail in flight. Like other members of its ancient lineage, it has a whistling call which is given in flight or on the ground. Its preferred habitat consists of wetlands with plentiful vegetation, including shallow lakes and paddy fields. The nest, built from plant material and unlined, is placed among dense vegetation or in a tree hole. The typical clutch is around ten whitish eggs. The breeding adults, which pair for life, take turns to incubate, and the eggs hatch in 24–29 days. The downy grey ducklings leave the nest within a day or so of hatching, but the parents contin ...

It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K. J. Zimmer.

Species Lists of Birds for South American Countries and Territories. https://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCCountryLists.htm retrieved August 24, 2021 Taxonomy and systematics The fulvous-chinned nunlet is monotypic. Its relationship to others of its genus has not been detailed but it is believed to be most closely related to the rusty-breasted nunlet (''N. rubecula'') and brown nunlet (''N. brunnea''). It has sometimes been considered conspecific with the latter.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K.

Fulvous Wren
The fulvous wren (''Cinnycerthia fulva'') is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The fulvous wren was formerly considered a subspecies of ''Cinnycerthia peruana'', which at that time was called sepia-brown wren and is now called Peruvian wren. Fulvous wren, Peruvian wren, and what is now called sepia-brown wren (''C. olivascens'') form a superspecies.Kroodsma, D. E. and D. Brewer (2020). Fulvous Wren (''Cinnycerthia fulva''), version 1.0.

The species, along with several others from the genus ''Suthora'', is sometimes placed in the genus ''Paradoxornis''. The species has four subspecies; the nominate subspecies from central Nepal, Bhutan and north-east India; ''P. f. chayulensis'' from north India and south China; ''P. f. albifacies '' from north Burma and nearby south China, and ''P. f. cyanophrys'' from central China.Robson, C.

Fulvous Shrike-tanager
The fulvous shrike-tanager (''Lanio fulvus'') is a South American bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Taxonomy The fulvous shrike-tanager was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1779 in his '' Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' from a specimen collected in Cayenne, French Guiana. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'' which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Tangara fulva'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The fulvous shrike-tanager is now placed in the ...

Fulvous-crested Tanager
The fulvous-crested tanager (''Tachyphonus surinamus'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers.

Taxonomy In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the fulvous-crested tanager in the supplement to his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected Suriname. He used the French name ''Le merle de Surinam'' and the Latin name ''Merula surinamensis''. The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicate ...
