Pink-headed warbler : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pink-headed warbler
The pink-headed warbler (''Cardellina versicolor'') is a small passerine bird found in the southwestern highlands of Guatemala and the central and southeastern highlands of the Mexican state of Chiapas. The adult is primarily red, with a silvery-pink head and chest. It is a fairly common to common resident of humid to semi-humid pine-oak, pine-evergreen and evergreen forest and edge, at altitudes ranging from above sea level. ==Taxonomy== When Osbert Salvin first described the pink-headed warbler in 1864, he assigned it to the genus ''Cardellina''. It was also briefly assigned to ''Setophaga'', the genus of the American redstart, before being moved to the genus ''Ergaticus'' in 1881. It is monotypic across its limited range, but forms a superspecies with the red warbler, which is found in the highlands of Mexico, north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Despite disjunct populations and considerably different plumages, the two have sometimes been considered to be conspecific. The pink-headed warbler's common name is a reference to its most notable feature. The genus name ''Cardellina'' is the diminutive of the Italian ''cardella'', a regional name for the European goldfinch, while its specific name, ''versicolor'', is Latin for "of changeable or various colors". The latter is a reference to the warbler's changeable head color, which, depending on the angle of the viewer, looks either frosty pink or a deeper red than the rest of its body. In Spanish, the species is called "cabeza plateada" or "silvery head".〔
