Golden-tufted Mountain Grackle (Macroagelaius imthurni)
About the Golden-tufted Mountain Grackle
The golden-tufted mountain grackle (Macroagelaius imthurni), also known as the golden-tufted grackle and tepui mountain-grackle, is a species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is found in Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. The golden-tufted mountain grackle was formally described in 1881 with the binomial Agelaeus imthurni. Some early twentieth century authors treated it and what is now the Colombian mountain grackle (M. subalaris) as conspecific. They are now the only members of genus Macroagelaius and form a superspecies. The golden-tufted mountain grackle is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 31 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.
