What a lovely picture you've taken of this tanager Stanley (at least I'm guessing you meant to put 'tanager' and not warbler LOL )

Such an unusual species to come into the Gallery too. Very well done my friend - thanks so much for showing him to us.

Excellent shot of this handsome youngster! and of his biotope, I might add. Is that some sort of fig tree? And does he eat the fruits or (and?) the insects on it, or is he just perched there for no foraging reason?

I suspect that without the yellow in the crown that this bird will have been difficult to spot in that setting.

A fascinating composition, Stanley.
