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.

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
