Based on GoogleID, the scientific name for this painted bunting is a Passerina ciris, and its included as one of small songbirds in our areas with length size of about 4 inches (10 cm).

The combine colors for males of this species are green, yellow, blue and red. Very attractive plumage.

The birds are native to South and North America, hence should be common birds in our state, Louisiana. However, we don't know why we have seen rarely this bird, especially in recent years.
