The Silver-throated tanager (Tangara icterocephala) is a resident from Costa Rica, through Panama and western Colombia, to western Ecuador. The male is mainly yellow, with black streaks down its back, and a whitish throat bordered above with a black malar stripe. Males and females look alike, but adult females have duller and greener-tinged yellow plumage, and sometimes dark mottling on the crown. It breeds in the highlands from Costa Rica to western Ecuador.
