The slaty vireo (''Vireo brevipennis'') is a species of bird endemic to shrubby highlands of southern
Mexico
Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatema ...
.
It differs from all other vireos in its predominantly slate gray plumage and long tail. These distinctions once afforded it its own genus, ''Neochloe''. It also has green feather edgings on its wings and tail. Its eyes, belly, and chin are snow white, offsetting the otherwise dark gray plumage.
