Hiding bird

[Jacamar]

Can anyone guess what this bird is? I shouldn't be too hard for some of you. Taken this morning in my backyard.

Looks like ome kind of hummingbird. But Hummers arent my stength.

Does anyone else want to guess? Here is another picture.

Thought it might be a Jacamar.

[Jacamar]

You're getting close Dave. Can you guess what kind it is?

[Dave B Smith]

Can´t really say. Maybe a Green-tailed? It seems to have a little bit of blue like a Paradise but I can´t see any white on the throat that I would expect. You´re just going to have to tell us!

Beats me! In all my days in Guyana, I've never seen a native bird with that shiny green plumange, except for a common hummingbird. But I'll take a stab at it: it could be a parakeet.

I didn't see your reply until now! It is a Green-tailed Jacamar.

It's definitely not a bird that you would have seen often if you weren't a birdwatcher...
