Rufous-bellied mountain tanager

Saltator rufiventris (protonym) The rufous-bellied mountain tanager or rufous-bellied saltator (Pseudosaltator rufiventris) is a species of songbird in the tanager family Thraupidae and is the only member of the genus Pseudosaltator.

It is found in the eastern Andes of southern Bolivia and extreme northern Argentina.

[1] The rufous-bellied mountain tanager was formally described in 1837 by the French naturalists Alcide d'Orbigny and Frédéric de Lafresnaye from a specimen collected near the small town of Sica Sica in western Bolivia.

[7] Rather than placing the "rufous-bellied mountain saltator" in Dubusia, a new genus Pseudosaltator was erected in 2016.

[9] The plumage is mostly blue-gray with orange underparts from the lower breast to the undertail coverts.
