Abstract
We report six new cases of wild birds with chromatic aberration from four provinces of Ecuador. The photographic records come from opportunistic observations. This is the first record of aberrant plumage for Anas bahamensis, Florisuga mellivora, Opisthocomus hoazín, Dendrocincla fuliginosa y Asemospiza obscura; while cases of aberrant individuals are added in Turdus fuscater. The case of F. mellivora is the most relevant due to its rarity and evidence of coloration patterns in the species. We highlight the importance of documenting and publishing the encounter of these events.
