Cardinals (Cardinalidae)
Streaked Saltator (Saltator striatipectus) - HBW 16, p. 420
French: Saltator strié
German: Strichelsaltator
Spanish: Pepitero Listado
Taxonomy: Saltator striatipictus (sic) Lafresnaye, 1847, Cali, Valle de Cauca, Colombia.
Affiliations of genus uncertain; recent molecular-genetic analyses indicate that it does not belong with present family, and may be better placed with tanagers (Thraupidae). Present species formerly treated as conspecific with S. albicollis, but analyses of mitochondrial DNA clearly indicate that genetic differentiation sufficient to support treatment as two separate species. In addition, has been suggested that races may involve more than one species; further study needed. Also, in SW Ecuador, adults on Puná I, which lies within range of race flavidicollis, are streaked below (.. View all taxonomy...

Also, in SW Ecuador, adults on Puná I, which lies within range of race flavidicollis, are streaked below (unlike flavidicollis) and greyish above (like nominate); may be worthy of taxonomic differentiation. Ten subspecies currently recognized.
