Hi

Well white bird white sky;)

should be interesting :2eyes2:

Gorgeous bird and fairly uncommon compared to the Masked Tityra.

Captured here in Corcavado National Park

Cool bird. Harsh light and steep angle were against you from the start. Where do you live? Where is the park?

Hi Arthur

Yes

Was walking through dense primary forest when she simply appeared momentarily.

I made a mistake actually this is a female Masked Tityra very similar indeed to the BCT.

I live in the UK but spend 6 months/year in Costa Rica. The park is Corcovado sorry for mispelling; located in the SW adjacent to the Pacific coast of Panama on the Osa Peninsula.

I have to agree to Artie's comments about the photo. ;) I like the color of the leaves though :)

Thanks Richard for the info. Are you working or playing for six months at a crack in CR?
