Western Tanager males are bright yellow and black, with orange-red heads. The majority of the plumage is yellow, with dark tails and two wing-bars on each wing. The dark markings on mature males are solid black, while females and juveniles have gray to brown markings. Each wing of a male has one white and one yellow wing-bar.
