The Unicoloured Blackbird (Agelasticus cyanopus) is a species of bird in the Icteridae family.
It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitat is swamps.
The male Unicoloured Blackbird is befitting of its name, with entirely black plumage and dark eyes. However, the species exhibits sexual dimorphism; the female is brown with a yellow belly, a darker mask, and rusty colored wings.
Famous quotes containing the word blackbird:
“Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
That’s the way for Billy and me.”
—James Hogg Hoffmann (1770–1835)
