Paria Whitestart (Myioborus pariae)
About the Paria Whitestart
The Paria whitestart (Myioborus pariae), also known as the Paria redstart, yellow-faced whitestart or yellow-faced redstart, is a passerine bird of the New World warbler family, Parulidae. It is endemic to the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela, where it occurs primarily on the edges and in clearings of humid cloud forests. It is threatened by on-going habitat loss within its tiny range, which is near-entirely contained within the Península de Paria National Park. The Paria whitestart was first described by William H. Phelps & William H. Phelps, Jr. in 1949, based on a specimen collected by Ramón Urbano during expeditions to Cerro Azul and Cerro Humo. The species name, pariae, refers to the species' endemic range of the Paria Peninsula.
