Abstract
CARDENAS, Giovanni and FRANCO, Juan Camilo. New records of pigmentary abnormalities in two species of birds in Cali, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.2, pp.147-154. Epub July 30, 2021. ISSN 0124-5376. https://doi.org/10.21068/c2021.v22n02a08.
We report two bird species with pigment anomalies, which were seen in Cali, Colombia in 2020. The individuals were, a female Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis) with partial leucism, a female Ruddy Ground-Dove (Columbia talpacoti) with partial leucism and a young nestling of the same species, with albinism. The records reported here are the first of partial leucism and albinism for Columbia talpacoti and partial leucism for Molothrus bonariensis in Colombia.
