Black-chested Mountain Tanager
Cnemathraupis eximia (Boissonneau, 1840)
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
Black-chested Mountain Tanager, Cnemathraupis eximia, is a bird of the Thraupidae family found in South America from Colombia to Peru. It lives in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Formerly placed in Buthraupis, it was transferred to Cnemathraupis after a 2010 molecular study showed that the earlier genus did not form a single natural group. The species was described by Boissonneau in 1840.
