Scarlet-rumped Tanager: Mirador El Pizote, Boca Tapada, Costa Rica, December 2024 \u2014 There used to be two tanagers in Costa Rica with red rumps\u2026the Passerini\u2019s and the Cherries, one basically on the caribbean side and one on the pacific. This would have been the Passerini\u2019s. They were recently lumped into a single species\u2026the Scarlet-rumped. The males were never really distinguishable, and the females differed only enough to notice if you had the two side by side. The Passerini\u2019s name is still out there, and still in use by some authorities. We will go with Scarlet-rumped. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 Di iii @ 600mm equivalent. Program mode with bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. Though it is a common bird, these are somewhat rare shots in that you can see the feather detail in the black\u2026the light was just right. <\/p>\n
