Kara Gerdanlı Saltator Saltatricula atricollis

Charismatic noisy inhabitant of savanna, Brazilian caatinga, and shrubby areas where it is easy to see, perching conspicuously on bushes and fence wires. Often accompanies mixed-species flocks. It has an olive-brown back, a pale belly, and a buff vent. Note the orange bill contrasting with the black face and chin. Immatures have a dark bill. The song is a series of fast and melodic whistles.
