• #427 Saltator to Thraupidae

It looks to me that it's just transfering Saltator rufiventris to Thraupidae.

Saltator

It looks to me that it's just transfering Saltator rufiventris to Thraupidae.

"This would remove the Saltator rufiventris from the Cardinalidae and place it in the Thraupidae, with the genus name in parentheses."
