Tersina is a genus of tanager. It contains a single species, the swallow tanager (Tersina viridis) . It is found widely throughout South America, from eastern Panama to far northern Argentina. The species is somewhat dimorphic, as the female is a yellow-green, and the male a brighter light emerald-green, with a small deep black face and upper throat patch. |
