Golden-chevroned Tanager
Golden-chevroned Tanager has a scientific name that suggests an ornate plumage, and it fits the bill. The golden ‘chevrons’ on the wings are particularly striking (again, as suggested in the common name). This species is almost entirely restricted to southeast Brazil. My first sightings of Golden-chevroned Tanager, including this individual, were at the excellent base of Casa Tukani in the small city of Guapimirim in Rio de Janeiro State. I was fortunate to see this colourful tanager on most days of my trip.
