Taxonomy

The golden-naped tanager was illustrated by the French naturalists

monophyletic genera, the golden-naped tanager was moved to the resurrected genus Chalcothraupis.[5] The genus had originally been introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1851 with the golden-naped tanager as the type species.[6] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khalkos meaning "bronze" and thraupis, an unidentified small bird.[7]

Six subspecies are recognised:[8]

  • C. r. ruficervix (Prévost & Des Murs, 1842) – Colombia
  • C. r. leucotis (Sclater, PL, 1851) – west Ecuador
  • C. r. taylori (Taczanowski & Berlepsch, 1885) – southeast Colombia, east Ecuador and north Peru
  • C. r. amabilis (Zimmer, JT, 1943) – north to central Peru
  • C. r. inca (Parkes, 1969) – south Peru
  • C. r. fulvicervix (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876) – southeast Peru and west Bolivia

Description

Golden-naped tanagers have plumage similar to those of the metallic-green tanager, the swallow tanager and the blue-and-black tanager[9] as adults of all three species are primarily blue with black facial masking, however, the golden-naped tanager is the only primarily blue tanager with a golden or reddish crown patch or nape.[10] Females have a similar pattern to males, but have duller colors and a narrower nape patch. Juveniles of both genders have a primarily dull blue-gray coloration with a lighter breast and belly, and lack the distinctive golden nape.
