Black-winged Saltator (Saltator atripennis) - 13Aug2024

The Black-winged Saltator shares a genus with the 15 other traditional saltator species in South America.  It inhabits montane forests all three of the central cordilleras in Colombia and spills over into Ecuador.  Although it has a IUCN status of Least Concern, it is not very common and we only saw this one between both of my visits to Colombia.  This one was photographed on the grounds of the Montezuma Rainforest Lodge.
