This all black (male) tanager looks like some of the others in South America, but it is the default in some areas which is true for the Pantanal where I photographed these. Its bill is also significantly larger than the similar Ruby-crowned Tanager. It is sexually dimorphic with the female being a reddish brown color. The white "line" on the shoulder of the male is only visible when it is displaying during breeding season.
