Rose-throated Tanager

Piranga roseogularis Cabot, S, 1846

Cardinalidae — Cardinals & Allies

Rose-throated Tanager, Piranga roseogularis, is a passerine of the Cardinalidae family that breeds from Mexico to Guatemala in Middle America. It was first described by Cabot in 1846. In the Yucatán Peninsula it is tied to the drier north, the wetter south, and the offshore islands of Mujeres and Cozumel. It lives along the margins of semi-humid and humid mature forest, in scrubby woodland undergrowth, and sometimes where scrub is broken by scattered trees. The male shows a deep rose throat and crown, while the female has yellow on those parts.
