Thraupis bonariensis

The blue-and-yellow tanager (Rauenia bonariensis) is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae.

It is found in Argentina , Uruguay, Brazil , Paraguay, Bolivia, extreme northern border Chile , and Andean Peru and Ecuador. Some southern region birds migrate northeastwards in the austral winter into eastern Bolivia and northeastern Argentina; also Paraguay where the birds are only migratory non-breeding residents.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest.

This species was formerly placed in the genus Thraupis. It was moved to Pipraeidea based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014.[2][3][4] It was moved to Rauenia based on the study published in 2020. It is monotypic in that genus.
