Description
One-colored Becards (Pachyramphus homochrous) are flycatcher-esque birds in found in Peru up through Venezuela (rated 'least concern' on the global IUCN red list).

The rufous-colored one in front is an adult female and the dark, sooty-colored one in the back is an adult male. The mottled one in the middle is a juvenile male who is in the process of exchanging his first set of rufous feathers for his adult male plumage.

I spent way too much time on this one (ended up starting it early and spreading it out over a couple of days, so I missed American Robin yesterday). I just really wanted to do all three birds because I find it hilarious that 'one-colored' becards come in so many different colors! ^^

Materials: Watercolor on paper, 7x5 inches.
