Slate-throated Redstart
La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes, 2300 meters above sea level.
Myioborus miniatus
(Slate-throated Redstart / Abanico pechinegro)
The Slate-throated Redstart is found from northern Mexico south to northern Bolivia, always in temperate montane habitats. In the north it lives in Pine-Oak forests, farther south in cloud forests and moist montane slopes.
It is a species which shows a high degree of geographic variation. In fact this largely grayish-blue bird with a dark chestnut cap has a striking red belly in the north, and in South America it is yellow-bellied, with orange-bellied forms in-between.
