Mystery Bird: Female Painted Bunting, Passerina ciris

I'll hold off on the ID to give others a chance, but if I knew Latin (and was actually witty) I'd make a droll comment about the meaning of the name. I'm actually kind of disappointed by my inability to find a Web resource for translating Latin into English.

This is another bird that I only know because of the CONE Welder birdcam. The overall shape and silhouette (and the food plant and foraging behavior) gave me the genus, and the bright green color gave me the species (and a case of unrequited longing).

I also know this bird from CONE. It is a female .... (I won't give it away) ...

The beak shape and lovely color clued me in (surprising - at least for me). The white eye ring and lack of 'wingbars' seems to confirm - a female Painted Bunting, Passerina ciris (?)

I'm fairly sure I know this one too, but I'm not arty enough to make Latin puns.

LOL John and Adrian,

Unfortunately in this case it's not Latin that would help but Greek mythology told through the work of Ovid in his Metamorphoses! You will probably know various versions of the myth of Scylla an Charybdis, the two sea monsters that guarded what we now know as the Strait of Messina near Sicily, either through the tales of Aeneas (who avoided them), Jason and the Argonauts (who were helped by "the gods" to escape them), or Odysseus (who chose to tangle with the eight-headed Scylla as opposed to the whirlpools of Charybdis, thereby losing fewer sailors), but an obscure myth tells how Scylla was turned into a ciris, a small purple bird with red legs that was thereafter chased by her father Nisus (whose tuft of purple hair she cut) who was turned into a sea eagle...!
