    Default Costa Rica Tanager

    I think this is either a juvenile flame colored tanager or a female cherry tanager taken on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Any help with the ID appreciated.

    Jon, nice close image but it would be nice if there was room below instead of having the tail cut off wether you can see it or not.
    But you said this was full frame so that can't be helped.
    Also there are some areas where it looks like maybe to much noise removal, soft flat patches. Were you using a flash or is that a fake catchlight in its eye? Just curious.

    Thanks Tim,
    i was using fill flash at -2.0 hence the catch in the eye.
    I used Nik Define for noise reduction and didn't apply any to the bird itself (at least I didn't think I was according to the mask).
    unfortunately the tail was behind leaves and I didn't leave space for where it would have been in the original composition.
