The Crimson-backed Tanager (Ramphocelus dimidiates) is an example of their stunning appearance. The bird has flashy red feathers. On the head and chest, its feathers are burgundy-red. However, as it moves towards its abdomen and lower back, its color becomes brighter and more intense. This handsome creature has a black tail, wings, and a bright white beak, which completes his perfect appearance.

Black underparts and slightly darker feathers are found on the females. Dark dots are spotted on the blue eggs laid by females during mating season. Currently, we do not know how many eggs are laid by each female.

They are present throughout Panama's western regions, including the provinces of Chiriqui and Veraguas, Coiba Island, and the Pearl Islands. In Panama, the Crimson-backed Tanager is known as "Sangre de toro," which refers to "Blood of the Bull."
In Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador, they also enjoy subtropical or tropical marshes and subtropical or tropical moist shrublands.
