Ramphocelus dimidiatus

Also known as Sangre de Toro

Male crimson-backed tanagers boast intensely brilliant crimson rumps and dark velvety maroon coats, offset by striking silvery-white lower bill bases. They thrive in bustling small flocks across secondary forests, overgrown clearings, and urban parks, where they forage actively for ripe fruit and small invertebrates. Their sharp, raspy calls and bold, visible behavior make them a lively staple of northern South American and southern Central American birdlife.
