Cacique (bird)
The
caciques
are
passerine
birds
in the
New World blackbird
family which are resident breeders in tropical
South America
north to
Mexico
. All of the group are in currently placed in the genus
Cacicus
, except the aberrant
yellow-billed cacique
(
Amblycercus holosericeus
), and the
Mexican cacique
(
Cassiculus melanicterus
) which constitute respective
monotypic
genera. Judging from
mitochondrial DNA
cytochrome b
and
NADH dehydrogenase
subunit
2
sequence
(Price & Lanyon 2002), the aberrant
oropendolas
band-tailed oropendola
(
Ocyalus latirostris
) and
casqued oropendola
,
Psarocolius oseryi
(
Ocyalus oseryi
?) seem to be closer to the caciques.
