Black-capped Tanager
Another of the beautiful tanagers from Ecuador. This one was shot at Refugio Paz de las Aves. Great variation in the appearance of this species from one lodge to the next even though the environment seems similar.- bajadreamer

Black-capped Tanager
We visited Refugio Angel Paz on our final morning from Tandayapa, but it had rained the whole night and we the Ant-pittas didn't show. At least we got some action around the feeders when it brightened up later in the morning- kitefarrago

I believe I uploaded a different photo of this bird from a different day. It seemed very well adapted to the fact that lots of people were walking around the lodge. It did, however, not know enough about buildings, I saw it hit a window.- njlarsen
