Vermilion Tanager
Calochaetes coccineus
The male Vermilion Tanager displays brilliant vermilion-red to scarlet plumage across its head, breast, back, and underparts, creating a vivid, nearly uniform appearance. Its wings and tail feature contrasting black feathers, with red edging on the wing coverts that softens the transition between colors. A short, dark bill and deep black eyes provide subtle contrast against its intensely saturated crimson plumage.
