Yellow-shouldered Grosbeak (Parkerthraustes humeralis)
About the Yellow-shouldered Grosbeak
The yellow-shouldered grosbeak (Parkerthraustes humeralis) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The yellow-shouldered grosbeak was formally described in 1867 by the American amateur ornithologist George Newbold Lawrence. He coined the Latin name Pytilus (Caryothraustes) humeralis. Following information from molecular genetics the species was moved from genus Caryothrautes to its own genus Parkerthraustes in 1997 by James Van Remsen Jr., to honor the late ornithologist Theodore A. Parker III. The specific epithet humeralis is Late Latin, meaning "of the shoulders".
