Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus)

I couldn't resist posting another picture of this species. This male posed so nicely that at first I thought it was a mounted ornament. This is presumably the race "P. r. mexicanus" ranging from South Central Texas through Mexico. Males are characterized by darker back and deeper red underparts without much orange mottling. Most recently the population on the Galapagos has been split as the Brujo Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus nanus).

Great capture of a beautiful fire head! I'm blessed to have them year round locally here in the high desert of So Cal. Nice work! TFS! :)
