Tanagers (Thraupidae)
Rosy Thrush-tanager (Rhodinocichla rosea) - HBW 16, p. 327
French: Quéo rosalbin
German: Rosenbrusttangare
Spanish: Tangara Rosada
Other common names: Rose-breasted Thrush-tanager
Taxonomy: Furnarius roseus Lesson, 1832, Brazil; error = Caracas, Venezuela.
Relationships uncertain. Traditionally placed in present family, and such treatment partly supported by recent genetic and morphological data, but further evidence required; sometimes thought to be closest to mockingbirds and thrashers (Mimidae). Races represent at least three geographically isolated populations; furthermore, it is possible that the three races in South America (typically represented as a single geographical unit) are isolated from each other. Five subspecies currently recognized.
