My last post was on the flame-colored tanager. I had photos of both a male and what may be a female flame-colored tanager, but iNaturalist is telling me that the female is a hepatic tanager. The female in this post is a female hepatic tanager which I saw in upper Madera Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains. The primary difference between the two species is that the flame-colored has black and white wing bars and the hepatic does not.
