“…In this study, more than one ventral plumage pattern was identified in the same localities (e.g., localities from the central Brazil [Goiás], and in the boundaries of southern Brazil and Paraguay), rejecting a possible delimitation among populations. In a recent study about morphological variation in Schistochlamys ruficapillus (Lopes & Gonzaga, 2014), a similar conclusion was proposed; the recognition of the three subspecies in the Cinnamon Tanager were based individuals from distant populations (scarce sampling), and intermediate stages were not included in these descriptions.…”
