Colombian Mountain Grackle (Macroagelaius subalaris)
About the Colombian Mountain Grackle
The Colombian mountain grackle or mountain grackle (Macroagelaius subalaris) is an Endangered species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is endemic to Colombia. The Colombian mountain grackle was formally described in 1840 with the binomial Quiscalus sub-alaris. Some early twentieth century authors treated it and what is now the golden-tufted mountain grackle (M. imthumi) as conspecific. They are now the only members of genus Macroagelaius and form a superspecies. The Colombian mountain grackle is monotypic.
