This social flycatcher landed in some vines , while I was in Oaxaca ( Mexico ) and proceeded to start singing , then his head feather started changing colors 🤩
It seemed it has a vermilion crown .

I thought on this Friday it was appropriate to share several pictures I got in August of the Fiji parrotfinch
They are quite small , and very fidgety.
