Cinnamon-bellied Saltator

Saltator grandis

The Cinnamon-bellied Saltator, also known as the Northern Grey Saltator, is a member of the tanager family Thraupidae. It is a passerine bird with a notable presence, distinguished by its sizeable build and the warm cinnamon hues on its underparts.

Identification Tips

This species can be recognized by its robust body, a stout bill, and the characteristic cinnamon coloration on its belly. It bears a resemblance to its former conspecific, the Greyish Saltator, but can be distinguished by its unique coloration and regional habitat preferences.

Habitat

The Cinnamon-bellied Saltator is native to the lush landscapes ranging from Mexico to Panama. It thrives in the verdant environments that these regions provide.

Distribution

The bird's range extends gracefully across Central America, from the southern parts of Mexico down through to the tropical climes of Panama.

Behaviour

Observing the Cinnamon-bellied Saltator, one might note its confident demeanor. It is a bird that exhibits a certain poise and assurance in its natural surroundings.

Song & Calls

The call of this species is quite elaborate, echoing through the air with a cadence that resembles the Spanish phrase "¡dichoso fui!", which translates to "I was happy!" in English. This distinctive sound has ingrained itself in the culture of El Salvador, where the bird is colloquially known as "dichosofui."

Conservation status

The Cinnamon-bellied Saltator is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating that, for now, the species does not face any imminent threats to its survival.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
