List of animals named after the color red

These animals were named for the colour red on their appearences, just because, or for a word that looks like a red but doesn't mean it. These are only for their English and scientific names. Many animals may be called "red" in a language besides English, but the English name lacks this meaning. These animals are not included. If a word in another language refers to red and the English name uses it, they belong here. Some animals might have a completely foreign-sounding name with the other languages' word for red in the animals' English name, and those belong here, too. Some languages have an animal's name not reference red, but the English name drops in their word for red in the English animal's name anyways. Those belong here.

== Named after red-based objects ==
Slightly different than being named after a shade of red. A shades is often named after a certain red thing related to the main colour itself (though there are exceptions). In English, some words are more about the shade's color then the item the item they were named after. A good example would be the word vermillion, which is a shade of red. It is named after a type of mineral. However, though we derive the term vermillion from this mineral, when we use vermillion it is more often to use it to discuss a shade of red rather then the stone, which has been forgotten or entirely unknown to the speaker. In other cases we have the cardinal, which is a bird named after the red uniform of Christian church members of a high religious status, called Cardinal. However, those Americans who have lost their Christian knowledge through the generations by not going to church and either "just believing in Jesus and the Bible" or losing touch with their ancestor's religion entirely; as well as those who were never from Christian families to begin with, did not have the knowledge that a cardinal bird was named after these people. And thus, the shade "cardinal" for them was not in reference to the Christian clergy, but to the bird itself. Another example would be the ruby, of which Americans are very familiar with as it is common in both jewelry and in references in the media. Every child knows what a ruby is, and it's an uncommon name as well. When we think of rubies, we think of red. So when we hear the word "ruby", we don't just think of the kind of red a ruby could be, though that takes part in "ruby red", like "a deep ruby red". We think about the stone as well as the colour it's supposed to be. So ruby cannot be taken away from its colour, even when we describe something as a shade of red by using ruby. The stone is an important part of the word. Cardinal is also like this to some extent, but its for the bird for those of whom are unaware of the clergical meaning, who may attribute it more as a shade.Thus, in this section these words are more about the item, which are red, and the reddish animal is named after the red thing. There's more focus on the object's color they're named after rather than just a random shade of red.
Fire:
Birds
*Coal-crested finches The crest is indeed black, but I think the intention is to emphasize the red belly, like a hot coal. Part of the coal is red, but not all of it.
*Coal tits and other creatures named after coal. Black usually, but sometimes red, orange, or white.
*Fire-breasted flowerpeckers
*Fire-capped tits
*Fire-eyes
*Fire-fronted serins
*Fire-tailed myzornis
*Fire-tailed sunbirds
*Firethroats
*Firethroats
*Firewood-gatherers Firewood is usually brown, depending on the tree it might be reddish-brown. Firewood burns. Gatherers are not necessarily red.
*Fiery-billed aracaris
*Fiery-capped manakins
*Fiery-shouldered parakeets
*Fiery squirrels 
*Fiery-tailed awlbills
*Fiery topazes (denoting either a red gem or a particular sort of shine on a non-red gem, especially if orange or yellow )
*Flamebacks
*Flame-colored tanagers
*Flame-crested tanagers
*Flame-crowned manakins
*Flammulated owls
*Flammulated pygmy-tyrants
Cooking
*Cook's swift (named after a person, but the profession remains)
*Ovenbirds live in nests of clay. The clay could be red in the proper environment. More importantly, ovens are associated with fire and burning coals. Miners also are associated with fire, but less so. Moreso because of Hungergames and hot coal, I think.

== A word that indicates a red pattern ==
Some patterns, like striped, spots, marbled, will not be here. I've also removed others like painted and tricolor. Any color can be in those patterns. I've left specifically those patterns that not only reference the red, but require the red. Some of these have alternatives. For example, roan can be strawberry (red) or blue. Harlequin can be black and white, or it can be red with black and maybe white. Strawberry can also refer to regular red flecked with smaller spots, like actual strawberries.
