Unicolored Blackbird Agelasticus
cyanopus (aka Agelaius cyanopus, Chrysomus cyanopus) Brazilian name: carretão |
||||
Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil This bird is fairly common around marshes and ponds so the Pantanal is an ideal habitat. The entirely glossy black male has a particularly long and slender bill which helps to identify it from the Chopi Blackbird.

This immature shows the rufous-chestnut on the wings, the fading yellowish supercilium and the dirty yellow underparts. There is an illustration of a sub adult male and a female on Sick, Plate 39 |
