The Anisognathus somptuosus, also known as the Blue-winged Mountain Tanager, is a colorful tanager native to the Andean region of South America. It is a relatively small songbird, measuring about 16–17 cm in length and weighing around 40 grams.

This species occurs in mountainous regions of countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia, where it inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges, typically at elevations between roughly 900 and 2,600 meters.

In the wild, its diet consists mainly of insects, supplemented with small fruits and berries. It is an active bird that often forages in small groups or mixed-species flocks in the canopy, moving quickly and acrobatically through the foliage.

In terms of behavior, these birds are social, usually found in groups of 3 to 10 individuals, and are quite lively and vocal, especially during the breeding season.
