Red-headed Tanager
The Red-headed Tanager (Piranga erythrocephala), is a medium-sized American songbird. Formerly placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae), it and other members of its genus are now classified in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae).[2] The species's plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family. Along with the White-winged Tanager and Red-hooded Tanager, it is sometimes placed in the genus Spermagra.
It is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
