Tangara nigroviridis

(Beryl-spangled Tanager / Tangara lentejuelada)

 

The Beryl-spangled Tanager is found at high elevations in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Much of the head and underparts are black, heavily spotted, the spots appearing bluish or greenish. This feature gives them their brightly-colored, "spangled" appearance.
