Just one of the many amazing tanagers in the Andes. They are definitely among the most gorgeous families of birds IMO. What do you think?

Very elegant little bird. I like the contrast between the dark feathers on the wings and the bright, vibrant head.
My only nit would be that the feathers on the underside seem to have a green cast… or is it noise?
