Another unconfirmed record shot - this time of a possible Scarlet-and-white Tanager at the Mirador Rio Blanco in northwest Ecuador. Scarlet-and-white Tanagers do look similar to this - red body with black edging to wings and white belly - but from this angle Summer Tanager or Hepatic Tanager are also both possible.
