Vermilion flycatcher

Male vermilion flycatcher

... that the vermilion flycatcher (pictured) is unusual among the tyrant flycatchers because of its vibrant red coloration? Regarding the Tyrannidae (tyrant flycatchers): "Plumage often relatively dull, with olive-browns and yellows dominant", from [1] (paywalled), the inline source is Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails by del Hoyo, also paywalled, I no longer have access to the original quote, as the "Handbook of birds of the world" is now becoming Cornell's "Birds of the world online"
- ALT1:... that despite being socially monogamous, the vermilion flycatcher (pictured) engages in extra-pair copulation? [2] "In this study we asked whether extra-pair reproduction occur in a sexually dimorphic and socially monogamous sub-oscine, the vermilion flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus). We report cases of extra-pair paternity, extra-pair maternity and intra-specific brood parasitism, and discuss our results in the view of other studies with passerines."

Article was promoted to GA status on April 18. Article is long enough and passes Earwigs. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Hooks are interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK; AGF on the paywalled source in ALT0. Morgan695 (talk) 05:13, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
