We saw the White-lined Tanager on the Pipeline Road and in El Valle.
The male White-lined Tanager, above, is predominantly black with white usually only visible under wings in flight - just a hint visible on the edge of the closed wing. The female, below, is ruddy brown above, cinnamon below.
Tail appears to have been cut?
