Pyrocephalus rubinus. (Female)

The Vermilion Flycatcher, Pyrocephalus rubinus, is a small passerine bird that can be found in the southwestern United States, Central America, and northern and central South America. Males are bright red in color, with dark brown plumage, and females have a peach-colored belly with a dark grey top. The flycatchers grow to about seven inches in length, and feed mostly on insects such as flies, grasshoppers and beetles.

The Vermilion Flycatcher is a favorite among birders, but not generally kept by aviculturalists, as males tend to lose their bright colors when taken from the wild and kept in cages.

hi Luis,
Very attractive picture, the bird is perfectly isolated on its branch. The blue BG is completed, the very visible details of the plumage.

Hola Luis,
Excelente captura de este flycatcher!
Me gusta mucho esta composicion cuadrada, tan bien balanceada con la ramita sobre la que esta posado el pájaro y la otra mas grande y difuminada del fondo.
Muy buena la luz y los detalles del plumaje del pájaro.
Felicitaciones y gracias por compartirla.
Un gran saludo,
JM
