Scarlet Tanager
Piranga olivacea
The Scarlet Tanager adult male in breeding plumage has a vivid scarlet head and body, sharply contrasted with black flight feathers. Its back and breast are essentially unmarked, while the wings and moderately notched tail are solid black, without conspicuous wing bars. A defining seasonal change occurs after breeding, when the male replaces its scarlet body plumage with olive-green feathers above and yellowish feathers below, retaining black wings and tail.
