The Unicoloured Blackbird (Agelasticus cyanopus) is a species of bird in the Icteridae family.[2]

It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitat is swamps.[1]

The male Unicoloured Blackbird is befitting of its name, with entirely black plumage and dark eyes. However, the species exhibits sexual dimorphism; the female is brown with a yellow belly, a darker mask, and rusty colored wings.[3]
