GOLDEN-RUMPED EUPHONIA Euphonia cyanocephala
Arguably the most attractive of a pretty attractive bunch, the Golden-rumped Euphonia is an uncommonly recorded bird in Paraguay. As with other Euphonias this species is sexually dimorphic, the female being generally duller and greener and lacking the golden rump of the male which gives the species its common name.
