Buff-breasted mountain tanager
The buff-breasted mountain tanager (Dubusia taeniata) is a species of Neotropical bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. TaxonomyThe buff-breasted mountain tanager was formally described in 1840 by the French ornithologist Auguste Boissonneau from a specimen collected near Bogotá in Colombia. He coined the binomial name Tanagra taeniata.[2] The specific epithet is the Latin word for a "head-band".[3] This species is now placed in the genus Dubusia that was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[4][5] The streak-crowned mountain tanager and Carriker's mountain tanager were previously treated as subspecies of the buff-breasted mountain tanager. They are currently recognized as separate species.[6] ![]() References
