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."
