nice photo of this eastern beauty.

Red/orange coloring is abit of a mystery to me.

A few years ago we noticed a definite color difference in Vermillion Flycatchers- those in Patagonia, AZ were very red, those in the San Pedro River area a definite orange.

It could not have been an issue of timing since the views were just two days apart.

What a gorgeous bird this is. I have only seen a few in my whole life; it's always a treat to see an image of one.

Added the Clement's 5th ed. tag so it would work in the Field Guide group.
