Passerini's Tanager

Passerini's Tanager, in the adult male, has predominantly velvety black plumage with a brilliant scarlet accent on the rear upperparts. Black wing coverts and flight feathers form unmarked wings, while the breast, upper back, and tail lack contrasting spots, bars, or streaks. The defining scarlet rump forms a sharply bounded patch against the surrounding black feathers, with its color extending onto the lower back.
