The red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae found in most of North America and much of Central America. It breeds from Alaska and Newfoundland south to Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and Guatemala, with isolated populations in western El Salvador, northwestern Honduras, and northwestern Costa Rica.

Most icterid species live in the tropics, although many species also occur in temperate regions, such as the red-winged blackbird and the long-tailed meadowlark. The highest densities of breeding species are found in Colombia and southern Mexico. [2] They inhabit a range of habitats, including scrub, swamp, forest, and savanna. [3]

Concealed among the leaves of a forest in China was a winged creature with a “magical red” body. The shiny, “metallic” animal was much harder to find than it might seem.
It was previously considered a subspecies of red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). [2] [7] [4] Differences in their behavior suggested to biologists that it could be a different species; More recently this was confirmed through molecular techniques and it appears that the red-shouldered and red-winged blackbirds constitute the closest relative of each other.
