Blue-browed Tanager (Tangara cyanotis)
About the Blue-browed Tanager
The blue-browed tanager (Tangara cyanotis) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The blue-browed tanager was first described as Calliste cyanotis by Philip Sclater in 1858, on the basis of a specimen sent by M. Verreaux. The generic name Tangara is from the Tupí word tangara, meaning dancer. The specific name cyanotis is from the Ancient Greek words κυανος (kuanos), meaning dark blue, and ωτις (otis), meaning eared. Blue-browed tanager is the official common name designated by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).
