Red-necked Tanager (Tangara cyanocephala)
About the Red-necked Tanager
The red-necked tanager (Tangara cyanocephala) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and heavily degraded former forest. The red-necked tanager was first described by Philipp Müller in 1776 as Tanagra cyanocephala. There are three recognised subspecies of the red-necked tanager: T. c. cearensis (Cory 1916) – differs from T. c. corallina "in having the crown darker and more purplish blue, the shorter upper tail coverts conspicuously tipped with bright light blue (forming a band about 5 mm. in width), pale blue separating the black of the forehead from the dark blue of the crown only slightly indicated, and size somewhat larger." T. c. corallina (Berlepsch 1903)

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 50 recordings for this species: 37 CC BY-NC-SA · 13 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
