Immature, black absent; crown, back, and tail tinged yellowish green; wings dusky, with coverts edged yellow; under surface bright pale Figure 31.—Yellow-tailed Oriole, Parao Coliamarillo, Icterus mesomelas. Resident. The Yellow-tailed Oriole is found in thickets, woodland edges, and clearings in the lowlands, and locally to the foothills, as at Cana, Darien. It is almost always near water. Its range in Panama is on the entire Caribbean slope; on the Pacific slope it occurs locally from the Canal Zone eastward, becoming more common in Darien. A pair was seen several times during 1969-70 by Ridgely, Eisenmann, and others near the base of Cerro Campana, Panama, not close to water; this is the westernmost report on the Pacific slope (Ridgely, 1976, p. 310). Beyond Panama, the Yellow-tailed Oriole is found from south- eastern Mexico to northwestern Peru and northwestern Venezuela, but is unknown in southeastern Costa Rica on the Pacific slope or on that slope of western Panama. Olson (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., vol. 94, no. 2, 1981, pp. 363-373) found that although the races carrikeri and sahinii are poorly marked.
