Crimson-collared Tanager
Ramphocelus sanguinolentus
Crimson-collared tanagers average 19–20 cm (7.5–8 in) long. The adult plumage is black with a red collar covering the nape, neck, and breast (remarkably similar to the pattern of the male crimson-collared grosbeak). All tail coverts are also red. The bill is striking pale blue and the legs are blue-gray. In adults, the irides are crimson, contrary to what is shown in Howell and Webb. Females average slightly duller than males, but are sometimes indistinguishable from them.

Flame-rumped Tanager
Ramphocelus flammigerus
The flame-rumped tanager measures on average 19 cm (7.5 in) in length. It has very marked sexual dimorphism. Males of both subspecies have velvety black plumage with a scarlet-red spot on the back; the chest and rump are orange to red and the belly is bright yellow. The beak is cobalt blue to silver or whitish with a black tip. The female has an olive-brown back with dark spots; a reddish-orange rump; and a light yellow chest and belly. The rump of the male P. f. icteronotus is yellow, while it is red in P. f. flammigerus. The rump is yellowish in the female P. f.
