Flame-rumped Tanager

Ramphocelus flammigerus -female-

(Flame-rumped Tanager / Toche)

 

This mom is now taking care of its offspring in the nest. For that reason her feathers appear as "messy".

 

The Flame-rumped Tanager occurs from western Panama south through Colombia to western Ecuador. This is a sociable bird, being typically found in monospecific flocks, which inhabit shrubby semi-open areas.
