"The American Redstart flashes the bright patches in its tail and wings. This seems to startle insect prey and give the birds an opportunity to catch them."

A little soft on the detail, but I like the pose on the open perch and the side light that illuminates the head, flanks and back.
Probably a first fall male. Thanks to geno k for the input.

Este pavito es migratorio y es un verdadero dolor de cabeza si no se tiene el equipo fotografico adecuado, decidi tomar esta foto y subirla en vista que ya casi migran hacia el norte, no es la mejor toma pero es una de las que hacian falta y desde hace mucho tiempo queria sacar una foto de esta ave.

Los adultos miden una media de 12 cm de largo. Los machos son de color negro en la cabeza, las partes dorsales, la garganta y el pecho; el vientre y las plumas cobertoras de la cola son blancos. En los flancos del pecho hay manchas naranjas brillantes, también en las rémiges del ala y en la cola.
En las hembras, la cabeza y las partes dorales son grisáceas o grisáceo oliváceas, y las partes ventrales blancas. En los costados y la cola hay manchas amarillo limón brillante.
Los juveniles se parecen a las hembras pero los machos presentan tintes naranjas en los costados, además de presentar algunas manchas negras en el cuerpo.
Adult males are striking and distinctive: mostly glossy black with bright orange flashes on the wings, tail, and sides. Females and young males are duller gray and olive with yellow patches instead of orange. Habitually flicks and fans tail while foraging for insects. Breeds in mature deciduous forests, often near water. Migrants can be found in any wooded habitat. Fairly extensive winter range throughout most of Middle America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Song is extremely variable. (eBird)

Found this lovely male Redstart searching through the leaves for a snack. A sudden swoop and there was a caterpillar in his bill. Didn't last long - four quick shots and it had disappeared down his throat. Yum!

Finally, a decent shot of the female. Often seen and often missed with the camera, these birds are hyperactive (as are, admittedly, the majority of our warblers). She was busy hunting insects in the trees along the road.
