Dusky-faced Tanager
Mitrospingus cassinii
The two subspecies are "very poorly differentiated." The adults are 18 to 18.5 cm (7.1 to 7.3 in) long and weigh 32 to 39 g (1.1 to 1.4 oz). Their crown and nape are mustard yellow. The face has a large black "mask". Their upper parts are lead gray. The throat is light gray transitioning to olive yellow on the breast and flanks and further to a gray-olive-yellow blend on the belly. The juvenile is similar but has less yellow on the crown and a buffy tinge to the underparts. Voice: The dusky-faced tanager's dawn song is "seety, seety, seety, seety, seety" . They chatter all day long with "sputtering notes such as chet or chet-ut" .
