    Default Tawny-bellied Hermit

    This hummingbird has never come to my feeders. The streaming tail is quite a site to see in flight. I recognize that the photo is cropped too close to be aesthetically pleasing.

    Very interesting bird and nice details in the feathers. I wish you had taken a step to the right as this would have moved the head of the bird away from the purple spot in the background and also improved the head angle potentially getting the beak in focus too.

    Cool species Peter! As Ben pointed out, a step to your right might have helped with the purple spot and also the head angle. Since it's coming to your feeder, maybe you'll get some more chances to photograph this beauty! Please try to include your EXIF data when you post images. Thanks!

    Yes thank you, that purple spot is annoying I agree. And the focus issue too.

    Cool looking HB, and I like the detail you have captured. Agree on capturing from a better angle.
