Fulvous-headed Tanager (Thlypopsis fulviceps)
About the Fulvous-headed Tanager
The fulvous-headed tanager (Thlypopsis fulviceps) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in the Venezuelan Coastal Range and far northern Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. The fulvous-headed tanager was formally described by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis as Thlypopsis fulviceps in 1851 based on specimens from "Caraccas [,Venezuela]". The specific epithet is derived from the Latin words meaning "tawny-headed". The fulvous-headed tanager has four recognised subspecies. The population inhabiting the isolated Santa Marta Mountains in northern Colombia has not been definitively assigned to any subspecies, but is thought to be obscuriceps.
