Green-headed Tanager

The Green-headed Tanager adult male combines a turquoise-green head, blue breast, yellow-green belly, and black back in sharply contrasting patches. Its dark wings and tail carry blue-green feather edging, while the lower back and rump form a bright yellow-orange patch. A yellow-green band across the hindneck separates the green head from the black mantle, providing a defining feature of its plumage.
