Golden-hooded Tanager

Golden-hooded Tanager adult males combine a golden-yellow head with a black back, turquoise-blue accents, and a white central belly bordered by blue flanks. The wings and tail are predominantly black with blue edging, while turquoise shoulder patches and rump contrast with the dark upperparts. A sharply defined black eye mask, bordered above and below by violet-blue feathers, distinguishes the face beneath the golden crown.
