Blue-necked Tanager

The Blue-necked Tanager adult male has a vivid blue head and neck contrasting with a predominantly black body and blue to green wing accents. Its lower breast and back are largely unmarked, while colored edging outlines the dark wing feathers; the tail is dark and relatively short. Black lores between the eyes and bill interrupt the blue facial plumage, providing a distinct contrast with the blue crown and cheeks.
