Hi...I don't know at all what it is, but I am pretty sure it is NOT a robin. Amazingly beautiful bird there!!

Here's an image of the red-breasted robin:

Veekay, I'm not familiar with the birds in your part of the world, but this one is not the robin that we have here in the US or Europe. Hope someone else can help you.

Looks like it might be some kind of Oriole?

Sorry, don't know the name of the bird either. But I recognized the fruit, we have them back home in the Philippines and I love them.

If it were in the US I would guess a Tanager. Perhaps a Summer Tanager. I don't know anything about what kind of birds there are in Trinidad Tobago though.

How about summer tanager? "summer tanager" - Google Image Search
All About Birds: Summer Tanager

They seem to winter in your area.

Check this out Silver-beaked tanager.
Silver-beaked tanager in Suriname, Pipira-vermelha, Sangre de toro apagado, Tangara à bec d'argent, Ramphocelus carbo

That is a beauty! Never have seen one of those. Saw Summer Tanagers in Dallas, Texas and thought them beautiful. We don't have much in the way of red birds on the west coast.

Sorry I can't help identify it but what ever it may be, it is a beautiful bird. Thanks for posting it.

I spent some time today looking online trying to find some information for you. Haven't found this bird on any of the Trinidad-Tobago bird sites but I had to say I was drooling over the many strikingly beautiful birds you have there! :drool:

I can't help you but I just want to say that I really enjoyed looking at this photo, it's quite lovely. And I love the name of this tree, Sugar Apple!

Did you look at Summer Tanager? :hmm They are there, this time of year.

Is it Red Breasted robin?
 
Hi Guy's,
I did send this image to an bird lady here and she thinks it is probably a silver beaked tanager a female.They are native to this area and they are not migrants.
She said that was beautiful photograph.

what kind of fruit is that?

kavanaru 10-26-2008 05:57 PM

it is too rufous for a summer tanager, and the beak is also too black..

I am not ver y familiar with teh birds of Trinidad and Tobago, but I would go for either a female tachyphonus Tanager (most probably T. rufus = White lined Tanager) , or either a female Ramphocelus tanager, or a Habia tanager... But I would stay with White-lined T ;)
