Casqued Oropendola (Cacicus oseryi)
About the Casqued Oropendola
The casqued cacique (Cacicus oseryi) 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, Peru, and possibly Bolivia. The casqued cacique has a complicated taxonomic history. It was formally described in 1849 with its current binomial Cacicus Oseryi [sic]. During the twentieth century it bounced between genera Clypicterus and Psarocolius. By the twenty-first century Psarocolius was no longer used and in the 2010s Clypicterus was merged into Cacicus. During its time as Psarocolius oseryi and Clypicterus oseryi it was called the "casqued oropendola". The casqued cacique is monotypic.
