Saltator
''Saltator'' is a genus of passerine birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are found in Central and South America. They have thick bills, relatively long tails and strong legs and feet. Before the introduction of molecular genetic methods in the 21st century these species were placed in the cardinal family Cardinalidae. Taxonomy The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 with the buff-throated saltator as the type species. The name is from the Latin ''saltator, saltatoris'' meaning "dancer". The saltators were traditionally grouped with the cardinals, either in the subfamily Cardinalinae within an expanded Emberizidae or in a separate family Cardinalidae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the saltators are embedded within the tanager family Thraupidae. Within the Thraupidae the genus ''Saltator'' is now placed with the genus '' Saltatricula'' in the subfamily Saltatorinae. The relationship of the subfamily to the other ...

Thraupidae
The tanagers (singular ) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has a Neotropical distribution and is the second-largest family of birds. It represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical birds. Traditionally, the family contained around 240 species of mostly brightly colored fruit-eating birds. As more of these birds were studied using modern molecular techniques, it became apparent that the traditional families were not monophyletic. '' Euphonia'' and '' Chlorophonia'', which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of the Fringillidae, in their own subfamily ( Euphoniinae). Likewise, the genera '' Piranga'' (which includes the scarlet tanager, summer tanager, and western tanager), '' Chlorothraupis'', and '' Habia'' appear to be members of the cardinal family, and have been reassigned to that family by the American Ornithological Society.

Bluish-grey Saltator
The bluish-grey saltator or blue-gray saltator (''Saltator coerulescens'') is a passerine bird in the tanager family Thraupidae that is widespread in the tropical Americas. Taxonomy The bluish-grey saltator was formally described in 1817 by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot under the binomial name ''Saltator coerulescens''. Vieillot based his description on the "Habia de la Ceja Blanca" that Félix de Azara had described in 1802 in his book on birds in Paraguay and the Río de la Plata. The specific epithet ''coerulescens'' is derived from Latin and means "bluish". The cinnamon-bellied (''Saltator grandis'') and olive-grey saltators (''Saltator olivascens'') were previously considered subspecies, together known as the greyish saltator. Description On average, the bluish-grey saltator is 20 cm long and weighs 52 g. The plumage depends on age and subspecies, but in general this bird has grey or greyish-olive upperparts, a white stripe over the eye, a na ...

Saltator Similis
The green-winged saltator (''Saltator similis'') is a species of saltator in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and ranges into the southern cerrado and the pantanal. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest. Description Slightly smaller than other species of the same genus, it has the same strong black beak that gave rise to the common name of these birds. As in the ''Saltator maximus'' , it has a green back, gray tail and sides of the head. The superciliary stripe is the longest of the three species (adult bird), with the "mustache" less defined and the throat all white. Underneath, gray dominates on the sides, becoming orange brown and white in the center of the belly. The wings are greenish. The juvenile does not have such a long stripe, being the same failed or nonexistent, right after leaving the nest. Some juveniles are striped below. Very energetic and ...
