A bird perches on a thick branch stripped of bark, looking toward the camera. It has grey legs and bill, black upper head, eyes, and tail, and a seafoam blue-green breast which turns to a cerulean blue on the belly.
I love the chevron-shaped breast #feathers of Black-capped Tanagers (Stilpnia heinei) like this male in Ecuador, October 2025.
