Amazonian Rains

Untamed Peruvian Amazon Expedition

 

Red-capped Cardinal (Paroaria gularis)

 

The Paroaria genus contains the South American Cardinal species, a genus of tanagers, despite what you might think from the name and colouration.

 

Found throughout most of the Amazon Rainforest it is the most common and widespread of all the cardinal-tanager species. You are unlikely to miss these stunners on your trip to the Amazon.
