Synonyms: Schistochlamys speculigera

Wikipedia Abstract

The black-and-white tanager (Conothraupis speculigera) is a tanager found in Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and the Brazilian state of Acre. The only other member of its genus is the recently rediscovered cone-billed tanager. The males' song is distinctive, blackbird-like, loud and ringing. The clutch presumably consists of 2-3 eggs. These are pale blue with heavy, quite evenly distributed brown blotching and measure c.21 by 15.6 mm.
