The unicolored jay (Aphelocoma unicolor [2]) is an Aphelocoma jay native to cloud forests of northwestern Central America and southern and southeastern Mexico, from central Honduras west to central Guerrero, southern Veracruz and extreme southern San Luis Potosi. It is apparently a basal member of its genus (Rice et al. 2003).
