The Summer Tanager breeds in central and southern USA and winters from Mexico through Central America, the West Indies and into South America as far as Peru and Brazil. It is found in woodland, gardens and forest borders.

The male is red with dusky wings and tail and paler on the underparts. It keeps this plumage all year. The female is yellow-olive above and a deeper yellow below with duskier wings and tail. Immatures resemble females while young males gradually acquire the full adult plumage over the course of 2 years.

I had some uncertainty about the identification of this bird and asked Birdforum for help. You will find their deliberations at http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=32371.
