The rose-throated becard (Pachyramphus aglaiae) is a medium-sized passerine bird in the family Tityridae. It breeds from southeasternmost Arizona and extreme southern Texas in the United States and across Central America to western Panama. Males are mostly gray with a dark crest and have a characteristic rose-colored neck bib, which is absent in certain rainforest populations. Females also have a dark crest but are otherwise browner, with rusty-brown upperparts and pale buffy underparts. The rose-throated becard is an omnivore, consuming fruit, berries, seeds, and (primarily) insects, either on the wing or by gleaning. Its typical habitat is riparian woodland and other semi-arid or subtropical open habitats with scattered trees. Wikipedia →
