Pyrocephalus rubinus
One of the most striking of all flycatchers, both in its colouration and its courtship behaviour, the male vermilion flycatcher is a small but unmistakable bright red bird, with dark brown plumage; and females have a peach-coloured belly with a dark grey upper side.
The Vermillion flycatcher prefers open habitats such as arid scrubland, farmland, desert, savannah, cultivated lands, and riparian woodland settings in southwestern United States, Central America, and far south Argentina.
