    I did a search of the site for this bird and found only a couple examples, so I thought I would share my photo of this species. It's not the greatest photo but considering their habitat and the settings I had to use, I feel it turned out not too badly. This bird lives and hunts for bugs in thick brush, so a perfect shot in the open is unlikely

    Canon 50d, 500f4, Handheld, 1/250, f5.6 ISO 400

    I should have previewed this photo before posting as my cloning of a couple leaves and one light spot are pooly done at best. I also cropped about 50%, sharpened and a little contrast.

    Hi Mike, this little fellow has an array of colours, and I really like the greens. You have captured a good pose, and sharp where it counts. Considering where they normally habitat, this is nicely in the open.

    First time to see this bird, he is a beauty. Cool two toned beak, neat eye. BG is a little noisy. Would like to see more of this bird.
