White-winged Shrike-Tanager (Lanio versicolor)
About the White-winged Shrike-Tanager
The white-winged shrike-tanager (Lanio versicolor) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The white-winged shrike-tanager was formally described in 1837 with the binomial Tachyphonus versicolor. It was eventually reassigned to its current genus Lanio that had been erected in 1816. Late in the twentieth century it and the fulvous shrike-tanager (L. fulvus) were treated as a superspecies but twenty-first century studies refuted that treatment. The white-winged shrike-tanager has two subspecies, the nominate L. v. versicolor (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) and L. v. parvus (Berlepsch, 1912).
