The Green-Headed Tanager Is A Gorgeous Bird (Amazing 10 Photos)

The Green-headed Tanager is a small colourful bird which frequents mainly the humid Atlantic forest. And contrary to we could think, its flashy plumage is a good camouflage among the vegetation. The adult male shows bright complex plumage. Head, nape and chin are bright aquamarine-green. A pale yellow-green broad band crosses the nape and the upper mantle, and extends around on the neck sides to the throat. Back and scapulars are black. The rump is orange-yellow whereas the uppertail-coverts are bright apple-green. The tail is black with pale green edges at base, turning turquoise-blue distally. The upperwing-coverts are dark violet-blue. The flight feathers are black with broad pale green edges.
