Painted Bunting

Passerina ciris

Painted Bunting adult males have a deep blue head, yellow-green back, and bright red underparts, with darker wings and tail completing the strongly contrasting plumage. The breast and rump are unmarked red, while the dusky wing feathers have greenish edging and the dark tail lacks conspicuous barring or spotting. A sharply defined blue hood covers the crown, cheeks, and nape above the red throat.
