Update: I initially had this one identified as the Blue Mountain Tanager, but this is incorrect due to that species having a yellow black alternating wing pattern. So it's a euphonia instead. Within the similar looking euphonias, this is the thick-billed euphonia due to its yellow throat. Posted 8 years ago
