Scarlet-rumped Tanager: Mirador y Soda Cinchona, Costa Rica, December 2023 \u2014 In the brief time I have studying and photographing tropical birds, this tanager has had three different names. It was the Scarlet-rumped Tanager when I started\u2026then it was the Passerini\u2019s Tanager on the Caribbean slope and the Charrie\u2019s Tanger on the Pacific slope\u2026at least in Costa Rica. The males have always been indistinguishable, but the females differ enough to raise some doubt. Then in 2018, they lumped the species again, and we are back to Scarlet-rumped Tanager wherever it might be seen. These Tangers are common throughout the lowlands and foothills of Central America, and are regular visitors to feeders, so they are no real challenge to see. Pretty birds though and worth a look.
