Red-crowned Ant-Tanager (Habia rubica)Observer
deboasDescription
Juvenile, perhaps in dispersal phase. I heard it collide with the window at 10:05 and went to find it already dead on the ground nearby. This is the downstairs bedroom window that doesn’t have anti-collision protection yet, but will have it soon. Day overcast, collision occurred a few minutes after the start of some light rain, which later intensified. Window reflects Cecropia trees some 15 metres away, and Ficus lyrata closer
