[[File:Luciano_Drawing_GCV.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Drawing of a ''Buteo costensis'' by field naturalist Luciano Eun, 1927]]'''Gavilán de cintoverde''' (''[[Castellanese]]'', ''[[Ingerish]]'' "green-belted hawk") is the common name for several related species of the genus ''Buteo'' that live in the south and central areas of the [[Ardisphere]].

= Classification =

Although commonly called hawk (''gavilán'') they are technically a type of buzzard (''Buteo''). They are also sometimes considered as sparrow-hawks in Ingerish terminology.

= Appearance =

These hawks are notable for their distinctive band of green feathers on the belly and around to the flanks. They hunt mostly smaller birds, small mammals like mice, and sometimes frogs or lizards.

= Distribution =

The most widely distributed is the ''Buteo costensis'', whose range covers most of [[Departamento del Centro (DC)|Departamento del Centro]] excepting the far east, and overlaps into the [[Distrito Federal (DF)|Distrito Federal]] and the northernmost parts of [[Departamento del Sur (DS)|Departamento del Sur]]. The ''Buteo bahagalensis'' is a slightly smaller and less distinctively colored but related species in the Bahagala Valley in far eastern Departamento del Centro. There is also the more distantly related ''Buteo quianensis'' with a limited range in [[Comuna de Ranas, DO|Comuna de Ranas]] in [[Departamento Occidental (DO)|Departamento Occidental]].

= In Ardispherian Culture =

The birds are considered a kind of symbol or mascot of the "cowboy" culture of the [[Costa de Dragones]] region in the country. There is a recurring symbolic appearance of "amigo gavilán" ("friend hawk") in the famous poem [[Che Kim]] by [[Isolde Pio]].
