    Rainbow Colored Bird in No Virginia--Identification Help

    The OP said the bird had a RED head. Painted Bunting (male) has a blue head. An exotic cage bird is a possibility but I am going with House Finch plus some light effects.

    WikiAves Brasil - error

    All Brazilian tanagers in the genus Thraupis have been included in the genus Tangara (which I think preceded Thraupis).
