- Cardellina rubra
Ergaticus ruber
Identification
Length: 13 cm (5 in). A small, bright red passerine bird. The adults are completely red, with a white or silver ear patch, depending on the subspecies.
Distribution
Endemic to the Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico.
Taxonomy
It is closely related to the Pink-headed Warbler of Chiapas and Guatemala.
Formerly placed in genus Ergaticus.
Subspecies
Three subspecies are recognized[1]:
- C. r. melanauris
- C. r. rubra
- C. r. rowleyi
Clements label the first of these as grey-cheeked, while the remaining two together are white-cheeked. A recent paper concludes that these two should be evaluated for potential splitting into two full species[3].
Habitat
Highlands. Lower to middle branches in mostly fir forest, also dense humid pine-oak or pine woodland.
Behaviour
Resident, non-migratory.
