Passerini's tanager female

In some of the guides I have it points at the presence of both species in this area. I think is the same case as the canadian geese, which are also found in Europe. We underestimate the ability of birds to cross mountains. Think of the hummingbirds that in spite of being so tiny and in need of energy they can cross the Andes by flying on top of the mountains and can also cross the whole Gulf of Mexico by sea. I think the barrier the tanagers encounter is much less big than in these other species cases :-)

Well, I am sorry but in this case I don´t think I agree with you, just based on the location. If you look at the female cherry tanager on other pictures online and you look then at the paseriniis one, then you will see this image here looks a lot more like the second since the cherry's female has a more orange breast, which the ones I show in this spotting don't have. On the other hand I doubt that the male hanging with these paseriniis females is a cherry one. I think both species may converge in the same areas between Caribbean and Pacific slopes. After all there are no real borders where the species have to show their "passports" to cross from one side to another. So, as you see, bayucca, I take into account your suggestions and I check them, but if I don´t agree, I do not change the species name :-)
