Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea), Portal, Cochise County

This Scarlet Tanager was found by Richard Webster on 18 October 2019 and photographed by Rose Ann Rowlett on the same date.

Casual late spring/early summer and late fall visitor (mid October and later) to Arizona with 35 prior records

Overall yellow-green coloration on head and underparts; dark contrasting wings with no obvious wingbars. Wings appeared very dark olive (not black) so this is likely a female.
