Unicolored Blackbird (Agelasticus cyanopus)
About the Unicolored Blackbird
The unicolored blackbird (Agelasticus cyanopus) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and as a vagrant in Peru. The unicolored blackbird was formally described in 1819 with the binomial Agelaius cyanopus. The species was later assigned to genus Chrysomus. By the 1990s Agelaius and Chrysomus were beginning to be recognized as polyphyletic, and early in the twenty-first century Agelasticus, which had been erected in 1851, was resurrected for the unicolored blackbird and two other species. The unicolored blackbird's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World recognize these four subspecies:

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 57 recordings for this species: 17 CC BY-NC-SA · 1 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
