Slaty Vireo (Vireo brevipennis)
About the Slaty Vireo
The slaty vireo (Vireo brevipennis) is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is endemic to Mexico. The slaty vireo was originally described in 1858 as Neochloe brevipennis. The genus Neochloe was later merged into the present Vireo. The further taxonomy of the slaty vireo is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it two subspecies, the nominate V. b. brevipennis (P.L. Sclater, 1858) and V. b. browni (Miller, AH & Ray, 1944). The Clements taxonomy does not recognize V. b. browni. This article follows the two-subspecies model.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 68 recordings for this species: 55 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.
