The chestnut-backed tanager (Stilpnia preciosa) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in southern Brazil, north-eastern Argentina, eastern Paraguay, and Uruguay in mature forests (especially edges) up to 1000m elevation. It is closely related to the rarer black-backed tanager, which have identical plumage except for the males' mantle (back feathers). Females of the two species are virtually indistinguishable by plumage. This bird is characterized by its blue-green breast and chestnut back. It was previously considered a color morph of the black-backed tanager (Stilpnia peruviana); however, Stilpnia is not known to have polymorphism, and the two species have different habitat preferences and breeding range. [2] [3] The tanager is reported as fairly common in part of its range and unlikely to face any particular threats; as a result, the IUCN has listed it as being of Least Concern. [4]
