Painted Redstart

Myioborus pictus

The Painted Redstart has predominantly black plumage with a scarlet-red lower breast and belly and conspicuous white accents; adult males and females are alike in coloration. Broad white wing patches interrupt the black wings, while white on the outer tail feathers contrasts with the dark central feathers and unmarked black back. A small white crescent beneath each eye forms a distinctive facial marking against the black head.
