Black-winged Saltator

A large, robust seed-eating bird of humid forest edges and secondary woodland in the Pacific lowlands of Ecuador and Colombia, black-winged saltators have slate-grey body plumage with distinctive black wings contrasting boldly with white wing markings. They inhabit dense undergrowth, forest borders, and secondary growth, foraging on large seeds, fruit, and buds. Like other saltators, they have powerful bills for cracking hard seeds. Listed as Least Concern with stable populations in remaining Pacific coastal forest.
