Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus ), Sweetwater Wetlands, Pima County

This leucistic Vermilion Flycatcher was first reported by Jamie Massey on 26 December 2009 and was photographed by Pamela Elia on 27 December 2009 and Dick Dionne on 28 December 2009. 

Although this bird is lacking nearly all pigment, the structure clearly points to Vermilion Flycatcher. The bird was also associating with a male Vermilion Flycatcher.
