Emerald Tanager

Emerald Tanager adult males have predominantly bright emerald-green plumage, with a yellow-tinged crown and contrasting black areas on the head and flight feathers. The breast is largely uniform green, while the dark wing and tail feathers have green margins that outline the overlapping feathers without forming bold bars or spots. A conspicuous black patch of ear-coverts behind each eye provides the most distinctive facial marking.
