Scaled fruit-eater



ILCE-1 FE 600mm F4 GM OSS + 1.4X Teleconverter lens 840mm f/5.6 1/250s 3200 ISO 0.0 EV

Chunky, short-tailed, flat-headed bird patterned in mossy green and black. Scaly above and below with broad green wingbar and black cap. Female has less black in plumage than male, but still distinctively scaly. Unobtrusive, often perching inconspicuously in the middle or upper levels of Andean cloud forest. Most often seen around a fruiting tree; occasionally follows mixed-species flocks.
