The red-shouldered blackbird, known in Cuban Spanish as mayito de la ciénaga or sargento cubano and turpial de hombros rojos, is a species of passerine bird in the family Icteridae endemic to Cuba. It is similar to other species in the genus Agelaius, but recent research has established it as a separate species from the closely related red-winged blackbird.
