Redfronted

Redfronted refers to a characteristic often observed in various species of birds and animals. It specifically describes a marking or coloration of a reddish hue on the forehead or frontal area of the head. This feature can be a distinguishing trait used for species identification or to indicate age, sex, or breeding status within a population.

For example, the Red-fronted Serin is a small passerine bird found in parts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Its common name directly reflects the prominent red patch on its forehead. Similarly, certain species of parrots or other tropical birds might exhibit red frontal plumage as part of their natural coloration. In some mammals, such as certain species of monkeys, a reddish patch on the face can also be described as a "redfronted" appearance.

The exact shade and extent of the red coloration can vary significantly between species and even individuals. This variation can be influenced by factors like diet, genetics, and environmental conditions. The presence of a red forehead is often a visible and easily recognizable feature for naturalists and birdwatchers.
