The eastern chat-tanager (Calyptophilus frugivorus) is a Near Threatened species of passerine bird belonging to the family Calyptophilidae.

It shares its genus with the western chat-tanager (C. tertius), which was previously treated as a fourth subspecies.

Their throat and underparts are white with a heavy wash of grayish brown on the flanks and lower belly.

[3] The nominate subspecies of the eastern chat-tanager, C. f. frugivorus, occurred on the Samaná Peninsula on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic but is considered extinct, with no records since the early 1980s.

[3] In the Dominican Republic, the species inhabits dense undergrowth in montane forest, especially in ravines and along streams.

Only one nest has been found; it was cup shaped, placed in a fern by a blackberry Rubus patch, and contained one egg.

[1] It is considered rare to locally common, but " relatively little of the species’ habitat lies within protected areas".
