The Red-shouldered Tanager is a dark, almost entirely black tanager, with males featuring prominent red shoulder patches. It prefers the canopy of humid forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits the canopy and subcanopy of humid lowland and foothill forests in the Amazon basin.
How to spot
Scan the upper levels of the forest. The red shoulder patches are often the first feature to catch the eye, even from a distance.
When to spot
Present throughout the year. Best observed in the early morning when foraging activity is high.

The vibrant red shoulder patches of the male are particularly striking against its otherwise dark plumage, resembling epaulets.
