tangara terciopelo

The Cherrie's tanager is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder in the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. This bird was formerly known as the scarlet-rumped tanager, but was split as a separate species from the Caribbean form, which was itself renamed as Passerini's tanager, ''Ramphocelus passerinii''. While most authorities have accepted this split, there are notable exceptions.
