Summer tanager (female)

Piranga rubra

Description:

Adults have stout pointed bills and measure 17 cm in length and 29 g in weight. Adult males are rose red and similar in appearance to the Hepatic Tanager, although the latter has a dark bill; females are orangish on the underparts and olive on top, with olive-brown wings and tail. As with all other birds, all red and orange colorations are acquired through their diet.
