Band-tailed Oropendola (Cacicus latirostris)
About the Band-tailed Oropendola
The band-tailed cacique (Cacicus latirostris) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The band-tailed cacique has a complicated taxonomic history. It was formally described in 1838 with its current binomial Cacicus latirostris. Various twentieth century authors placed it in either genus Ocyalus or genus Psarocolius. By the twenty-first century Psarocolius was no longer used and in the 2010s Ocyalus was merged into Cacicus. During its time as Ocyalus latirostris it was called the "band-tailed oropendola". The band-tailed cacique is monotypic.
