Vermillion Flycatcher

Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus)

This was listed as observed down near San Diego when I was there Fall 2013. I didn't catch up with him then, though, so extra glad to have seen one on my Argentina adventure. Rather distant, but identifiable. I note that the Latin name means "Firehead", which does seem to fit ;)
