Scarlet-thighed Dacnis

Iris bright red in male, duller red in female. Male unmistakable with bright turquoise blue crown and nape, sides of head and neck, centre of back, rump and scapulars.; forehead lores, sides of back, wings and tail, and mid-throat and entire remaining underparts black; the thighs are scarlet, but these are usually hidden. Female dull greenish blue above, brightest on cheeks, scapulars, and rump, duskier on back, wings, and tail; below dingy buffy greyish, buffiest on belly and undertail coverts.

The Scarlet-thighed Dacnis is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

for the scarlet-thighed dacnis (yes, just his thighs-not his feet or legs). We had navigated through an eerie morning mist in an elfin cloudforest and at noon found ourselves among apple orchards on such steep slopes they seemed flung there instead of planted. All of it was wondrous, but we'd not yet seen a footprint of the beast we'd come here tracking. Then a bend in the road revealed a tiny adobe school, its bare-dirt yard buzzing with small, busy children. More

Scarlet-thighed Dacnis and a pair of Scarletbreasted Dacnis! Just before it got dark we arrived at the lodge with a Red-billed Scythebill being our last bird of the hike. After dinner we did some owling and the first species we heard was a Black-and-white Owl. We played its song and it responded very well. Soon we used the spotlight and watched the full adult bird singing from a branch in the tree next to us. A little further down the road we heard a Chocó Screech-Owl. More
