Tangara chilensis
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The paradise tanager — known locally as siete colores — is a passerine bird of the family Thraupidae, belonging to the large genus Tangara. It is native to South America, in the Amazon basin and the Guiana Shield. It is sometimes called the Chilean tanager because of its binomial name, but that name should not be used for the genus Tangara, because Chile is not its habitat and because the name is already used for the other siete colores, which is native to Chile.
