Years ago they were called tanagers before getting their own unique names:
 |
| Yellow-throated Euphonia, El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |
 |
| Blue-crowned Chlorophonia, El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |

| Blue-crowned Chorophonia (left), Yellow-winged Tanager (right) El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |
 |
| Blue-crowned Chlorophonia, El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua The one on the left more clearly shows the “blue crown” which they all have All of these photos were shot from a great distance and cropped a lot! |

| A better shot with the Yellow-winged Tanager which can be seen from another location in the Tanager Post Then there are 2 Blue-crowned Chlorophonia on the right, and the far right with orange cap is a Rufous-winged Tanager, thanks to Stephen for the ID! El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |
About Chlorophonia at Cornell’s Neotropical Birds – Only found Nicaragua to Guatemala and not in Costa Rica.

No trick with the light on last pic! That is a Rufous-winged Tanager. Frequent in El Jaguar. You got another tanager! I love El Jaguar. Great owners and Moises is a great guide
Thanks again Stephen! And the Rugous-winged Tanager is a new species for me in Nicaragua though I did get one here in Costa Rica at the Arenal Observatory, another good birding place! This blog photo is not even in my Nicaragua Bird Gallery yet.
