Green-capped Tanager
Stilpnia meyerdeschauenseei (Schulenberg & Binford, 1985)
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
Green-capped Tanager, Stilpnia meyerdeschauenseei, is a bird of the tanager family found in South America, with its breeding range in Peru. It lives along forest edges and in gardens at 1,450–2,200 m in Puno, Peru, and La Paz, Bolivia. It is closely similar to the burnished-buff tanager, but the mantle is bluer in the male and greener in the female, while the crown is greenish-buff. The species name honours the ornithologist Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee.
