The Crimson-Backed Tanager Is A Spectacular Red Bird With A Striking Silver Beak

While Many Birds Might Think The Bright Red And Black Had More Than Enough Impact, These Birds Add A Shining Silver Beak. Measuring around 18 cm (7.1 in) in length, the adult male has a silver sheen on its lower mandible. Its whole head and chest are a maroon red, brightening to a bright red on its lower back and abdomen. Its wings and tail are black. The female is duller with blackish underparts.
