Sorry for the horrible quality photo and poor pose of the bird, it's the only shot I managed to capture.

Hi Ferdy, even though it looks fairly unusual, recent genetic studies have justified lumping it with Sporophila. Would you mind amending the name when you have time? Posted 10 days ago

    Cool! And at some point, we should probably do a cleanup of the genus Tangara as well. I was pissed off about all the new genera that they came up with a few years ago but at this point I don't think it will change back. Posted 10 days ago

        Speckled Tanager = Ixothraupis guttata
        Spotted Tanager = Ixothraupis punctata
        
        Golden-naped Tanager = Chalcothraupis ruficervix
        
        Gray-and-gold Tanager = Poecilostreptus palmeri
        
        Blue-capped Tanager = Sporathraupis cyanocephala (currently under Thraupis)

        In the process I stole a species intro from you lol. One of the species had 2 species records (synonyms) split between you and me. They are now merged but my photo was posted first. Posted 9 days ago
