Thanks !! ^^ Really, I didn't know these two species Scarlet Tanager, Piranga olivacea ... yes they must be cousins. I just have luck this one was eating so it was easier to take this photo

How beautiful! Here in the Appalachian mountains of VA, we have Scarlet Tanagers, Piranga olivacea, who must be close cousins of this Brazilian tanager. I have never been fortunate enough to get a photo of our tanagers; they are quite shy.
