Good morning, all you Newdists!
It’s Caturday… again. I like that it keeps coming back around.
Diary bird — Green-headed Tanager — Tangara seledon
Detailed Description
Adult male: One of the most complex patterned species of Tangara. Although named the Green-headed Tanager, the head is more turquoise-green than green. A bright yellow-green band extends around the head from the nape to upper back. Rest of back is black, rump is orange, and uppertail coverts are bright yellow-green. Throat is black, breast and upper belly turquoise, lower belly and crissum bright yellow-green. There are black feathers around the bill as well as a small black eye ring. The wing coverts are a combination of purple and blue, flight feathers are black and broadly edged with bright green (Isler and Isler 1987, Ridgely and Tudor 2009).
Adult female: Very similar to the male, but slightly duller (Perlo 2009, Ridgely and Tudor 2009).
Juvenile/subadult: Similar to adult, but duller (Isler and Isler 1987). LINK
