conspecific with Carmiol's tanager of Central America
.

Taxonomy

The yellow-lored tanager was

monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[8]

Description

The yellow-lored tanager is about 17 cm (6.7 in) in overall length. The upper parts are a dull olive green and the underparts are a rather paler olive green. The throat is slightly yellower than the rest of the underparts, and is streaked in the male while being a uniform pale yellow in the female. The underparts of the female are paler than those of the male, and the female has a yellowish patch in front of the eyes. The beak is relatively stout and is black in both sexes.[9]

Behaviour

The yellow-lored tanager sometimes forms small groups of 3-4 individuals. It eats

arthropods and fruit.[10]

Status

The population of this bird has not been quantified but the total number of birds is thought to be declining. However, the bird has a very large range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature considers its conservation status to be of "least concern".[1]
