Description

The rosy thrush-tanager is about 20 cm (8 in) long. The male is a distinctive bird with a long streak above the eye, pink in front of the eye and white behind. The upper parts are dark, brownish-black, the flanks are dusky grey and the underparts magenta, as is the leading edge of the wing. The female is generally similar to the male but the rosy-magenta is replaced by a deep ochre colour. The beak is long and slightly curved, resembling that of a mimid.

Feeding Habits
Rosy Thrush-tanager has a varied diet including insects like beetles, pentatomids, ants, spiders, and plant material. Rosy Thrush-tanager forages on both ground and foliage, showing unique predation by consuming frog bones. Seeds and grains of sand aid in digestion, reflecting a diverse dietary palette and foraging adaptability.
Habitat
The rosy Thrush-tanager predominantly inhabits arid to semi-arid forests, particularly favoring areas with a dense understory. These birds are partial to second growth scrubland and overgrown plots that were once cleared land. They are known to forage in thickets, which facilitates their auditory rather than visual detection. The species is described as being a ground-dweller that prefers the shade provided by forest undergrowth, indicating a preference for some degree of cover and lower light conditions within broader geographical regions featuring their habitat type.

Distribution Area

The distribution in Central America and northern South America includes Mexico, Costa Rica, northern Venezuela and northern Colombia. Typical habitat is thick undergrowth in deciduous forests, secondary woodland, thickets and scrubland. It most frequently occurs in the mountain foothills at altitudes varying between 500 and 1,500 m (1,600 and 4,900 ft).

Species Status

R. rosea has a wide range and is estimated by Partners in Flight to have a total population of fewer than 50,000 individuals. However, the population seems to be stable and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
