Black Oropendola (Psarocolius guatimozinus)
About the Black Oropendola
The black oropendola (Psarocolius guatimozinus) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is found in Colombia and Panama. The black oropendola was formally described in 1853 with the binomial Ostinops guatimozinus. The specific epithet guatimozinus derives from Guatemozin, who was a nephew of Montezuma and last Aztec emperor. Some early twentieth century authors placed the species in genus Gymnostinops, which was later merged into the current Psarocolius. Some authors have suggested that the black oropendola, the Baudo oropendola (P. cassini), and the olive oropendola (P. bifasciatus) should be merged as a single species. The black oropendola is monotypic.
