White-lined tanager
Tanagers are famous for their colourful and patterned plumage; the white-lined tanager however has rather subtle colours. The colouring of the male is a lustrous blue-black with white underwing coverts and a small white line on the shoulder. These white areas are conspicuous in flight but otherwise rarely visible. Females are cinnamon in colour. The rump and tail of the female have a more reddish-brown colour with a splash of gray on the head. They measure between 13 and 18 cm and have short, sharply pointed beaks.Conservation Status: IUCN
