Original – Red-banded fruiteater Pipreola whitelyi illustrated by John Gerrard Keulemans in 1886. It gets its name from the...well, work it out. The female is not so colourful, but it isn't all about flashy crowd-pleasing plumage, she's on a higher branch.
Reason
Nice illustration which will hold its EV even if we get a live action non-CGI photo. Pretty bird which, at least from this illustration, beats the handsome fruiteater to the title. Might need straightening up a smidge and there are a couple of marks which some nice image wizard could take care of in two shakes of a fruiteater's tail. Go on, make me swoon over your seemingly effortless editing skills.
