Crimson-collared Tanager

The Crimson-collared Tanager adult male has predominantly black plumage contrasted by a crimson head, neck, and upper breast. Unmarked black wings, lower back, belly, and tail frame these red areas, while the rump and upper tail coverts form a separate patch of crimson. A small black facial mask around the eyes and bill base interrupts the otherwise red hood, emphasizing its sharply defined color boundaries.
