White-spotted Tanager

Mayrimunia leucosticta

The White-spotted Tanager (Mayrimunia leucosticta) is a small passerine bird found in the humid forests of South America. It is characterized by its striking black and white plumage, with distinct white spots on the wings and back. These tanagers are often found foraging in the mid to upper levels of the forest, feeding on insects, fruits, and nectar. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, often heard during the breeding season. The White-spotted Tanager is not currently considered to be globally threatened, although local populations may be at risk due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
