Tawny-shouldered Blackbird (Agelaius humeralis)
About the Tawny-shouldered Blackbird
The tawny-shouldered blackbird (Agelaius humeralis) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is found in Cuba and Haiti and possibly the Dominican Republic. It is also a vagrant to the Florida Keys in the United States. The tawny-shouldered blackbird was formally described in 1827 with the binomial Leistes humeralis. It and the yellow-shouldered blackbird (A. xanthomus) are sister species and form a superspecies. It is known in Cuba as "mayito" and in Haiti as "ti kawouj". The tawny-shouldered blackbird has two subspecies, the nominate A. h. humeralis (Vigors, 1827) and A. h. scopulus (Garrido, 1970).
