Includes Yellow-billed Oropendola
- Psarocolius angustifrons
Identification
Black bill in the Amazonian lowland form, bill yellowish to greenish or even pink in juveniles in all others.
Distribution
Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Taxonomy
Seven subspecies are recognized[1]:
- P. a. salmoni
- P. a. atrocastaneus
- P. a. sincipitalis
- P. a. neglectus
- P. a. oleagineus
- P. a. alfredi
- P. a. angustifrons
Several field guides split this in two species, such that Russet-backed Oropendola becomes monotypic P. angustifrons and all others becoming Yellow-billed Oropendola P. alfredi.
Habitat
Nominate subspecies in lowlands, most others at some elevation. In all areas moist forests to semi-open areas, mostly near water.
Behaviour
Diet
Breeding
Colonial nester, using hanging woven nests.
