Lesser Antillean Saltator (Saltator albicollis)
About the Lesser Antillean Saltator
The Lesser Antillean saltator (Saltator albicollis) is a species of songbird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is found in Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Lucia. The Lesser Antillean saltator was formally described as Saltator albicollis by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1817. Vieillot erroneously reported the type locality of his specimen as Cayenne, the then-current name for what is now French Guiana, but it was later corrected to Martinique. The specific epithet albicollis is derived from the Latin "albus" meaning "white" and "collum" meaning "necked". For a time it and the streaked saltator (S. striatipectus) were considered conspecific.
