Hooded Mountain-Tanager
Hooded Mountain-Tanager is the sole species in the genus Buthraupis, and certainly stands out as brightly coloured. It is the second-largest species in the large Thraupidae family, which has some 375 members. As the second part of the common name indicates, the habitat of this species is the highlands of the Andes of South America from Venezuela south to Bolivia. This individual was on the grounds of the Wayqecha Biological Station on the Manu Road, Peru.
