The thing about both sites that really fascinates me is that they are showing Cherry-heads and making no special mention of them. On the 'characteristics' page of the first site, they mention that Red-foots come in two color forms- red and yellow (but different from the Yellow-foot.) The red form is called the Cherry-head in the US. In other words, we are making a big deal out of something they consider perfectly commonplace.
Yes, this is true. It is also one of the reasons that most people now agree that the 'cherryhead' form of redfoot must be native to that region of Brazil since the locals don't seem to recognize that they are different from the RFs in other parts of Brazil.
I've never seen any red head Northern come out of Venezuela, but I have seen them come out of the Ripinuni flood plain in Guyana. Ed Ruby has a Male that I picked out of a group from the Ripinuni. That animal is an incredible Northern, but from what Ed's told me, he's really shy and reclusive, and wont go near the Females.............
