Grayish Saltator

A medium-large, stocky bird with grey upper parts, whitish underparts, and a distinctive white throat bordered by a black malar stripe, grayish saltators inhabit forest edges, gardens, and secondary woodland across a vast range from Mexico through Central America to Bolivia and Argentina. Highly adaptable, they thrive in suburban parks and gardens across tropical Latin America. They produce rich, varied melodious songs and are among the more commonly observed large songbirds in disturbed neotropical landscapes.
