This tanager is a resident breeder in the Caribbean lowlands from southern Mexico to western Panama. This species was formerly known as the Scarlet-rumped Tanager, but was renamed when the distinctive form found on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama was reclassified as a separate species, the Cherrie's Tanager, Ramphocelus costaricensis. While most authorities have accepted this split, there are notable exceptions (e.g. the Howard and Moore checklist). (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passerini's_Tanager) 400mm, 1/400s, ISO800  1/200s, ISO400 Male  Female 1/30s, ISO800

Beautiful set of birds. Its similar to the all rose red Summer Tanager. Its good to see you active in taking bird pictures at a place that I consider a true birder's paradise. Not only do they have a lot of birds but you can get quite close to them very often. I think if you make it a goal to photograph 100 birds a year you would be able at least come close to it. I can imagine how happy you are. Well done Ariel. Mabuhay.
