san pedro tanager - what does it look like?
hello,
have just arrived back in cusco after a few days in the lowlands and on the manu road and am posting because i (twice) briefly saw a bird nr cock-of-the-rock-lodge that i could not identify and am *wondering* whether it might be the undescribed tanager, or if i´m overlooking something obvious... distinguishing features about size of a silver-lined tanager, black above but with white flashes in wing, maybe a double wingbar or something (seen in flight only). Pale throat (maybe yellow), thickish bill a la ant-tanager or something, and most distinguishing feature a *very* noticeable (i.e. trogonesque) pale white or whitish eye ring. if this doesn´t fit anything am quite prepared to consign it to the dustbin cheers, James |

The name does not fit anything in the n SA book (Restall) and also nothing in SACC. You can probably do a google just as well as I can
 Niels Edit: The Taxonomy or ID fora might have been better for this request.

Hi Niels,
unfortunately google is a bit of a dead end apart from the fact it looks like uma thurman in kill bill no other ID tips are available. Will post in the ID and taxonomy threads as you suggest and see if anyone can help but i'm not too hopeful!! cheers James |
