Variation
Males are virtually identical in the two subspecies but females differ with the females of subspecies costaricensis brighter on especially rump and breast.
Distribution
Caribbean lowlands from southern Mexico to western Panama.
Taxonomy
The Scarlet-rumped Tanager was for a while considered two species but the balance of evidence now concludes it is best treated as one. , but was renamed when the distinctive form found on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama was reclassified as a separate species, Cherrie's Tanager R. costaricensis.
Subspecies
There are 2 subspecies[1]:
- R. passerinii passerinii:
- Atlantic slope of Central America, from southern Mexico (southeastern Veracruz and northeastern Oaxaca) to western Panama (Ngäbe-Buglé); also on the Pacific slope in northernmost Costa Rica where the two forms come into contact (formerly Passerini's Tanager)
- R. passerinii costaricensis:
- Pacific slope of southern Costa Rica (Puntarenas) and western Panama (formerly Cherrie's Tanager)
Habitat
Second growth, dense thickets, woodland edges, gardens and pasture with bushes.
Behaviour
Breeding
They construct a cup-shaped nest, which is placed up to 6 m high in a tree. The clutch contains 2 pale blue or grey eggs, with black, brown or lilac markings. There may be a second brood.
Diet
Their diet consists of small fruit, usually swallowed whole, insects and spiders. They forage in pairs, families and groups.
