Philadelphia Vireo

Botanical Garden, Quito

First record for Ecuador!!
Surprisingly this bird remained in the park since last week despite being looked for.
Features supporting the ID are the warbler like apperance and small bill that exclude the expected Red-eyed and Yellow-green Vireo. Furthermore it is brightest yellow on the upper breast and throat and vent with the remaining underpart pale yellow. Also note the dark lore and contrast between dark primary coverts and paler greater coverts.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
