Blue-winged Mountain-Tanager (Anisognathus somptuosus)

A feeder picture, but such a spectacular bird I couldn't resist posting it. The Mountain Tanagers are some of the most colorful birds to be found in the equatorial regions, and fortunately there are quite a number of species, and many are fairly common.

A very striking color bird. As it came to feeder, I am sure you had a good time looking at it.
