Abstract

We present noteworthy photographic records of Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) in Colombia. Furthermore, we review the vagrant distribution of this blackbird in the western hemisphere. This blackbird migrates in boreal winter south up to center Mexico, but with erratic records in Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Our record supports recent documentation from community science initiatives (eBird) in Ecuador, deserving its inclusion in the South American Classification Committee and the Ecuador and Colombia bird lists. We suggest the vagrant/accidental or erratic-migrant categories, respectively.
