Чернокрылый сальтатор

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.

Серый питилус

A large, heavy-billed seed-eating bird of humid lowland forest in the Amazon basin, Central America, and northern South America, slate-colored grosbeaks have uniform dark slate-grey plumage with a powerful, pale bill. Despite their name, they are placed in the saltator genus. They inhabit dense, humid forest interior and forest edge, foraging in pairs or small groups on large seeds and hard fruits. Their powerful bills crack seeds too tough for most other birds. Listed as Least Concern.
