Venezuelan Flowerpiercer
Diglossa venezuelensis Chapman, 1925
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
Venezuelan Flowerpiercer, Diglossa venezuelensis, is a passerine in the tanager family that breeds in Venezuela. It is confined to the north-east of the country and is found in moist montane forest, with records also from secondary woodland and scrub close to forest. The species was first described by Chapman in 1925. It is closely tied to a small mountain range network, including the Cordillera de Caripe, the Paria Peninsula and Cerro Negro. Its upper bill ends in a sharp hook, a key feature of the genus.
