Rufous-chested Tanager

Cyanoderma pyrrhops

The Rufous-chested Tanager (Cyanoderma pyrrhops) is a small songbird found in the Andean cloud forests of South America. It is characterized by its striking rufous chest and belly, contrasting with a deep blue head and back. This tanager is often observed foraging in the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy, where it feeds on insects and small fruits. Its melodious song can be heard echoing through the misty montane forests. The Rufous-chested Tanager is a delightful sight for birdwatchers and a key player in the biodiversity of its habitat.
