Green-and-gold Tanager

Tangara schrankii

The Green-and-gold Tanager adult male has predominantly bright green plumage, a golden-yellow head, and blue-green underparts, with conspicuous black markings on the face and back. Black feather centers give the green back a scaled appearance, while the dark wings and tail show green edging and the breast remains largely unmarked. A sharply contrasting black facial mask beneath the golden crown is a defining feature of the feathered head.
