Rufous Twistwing

Rufous Twistwing (Cnipodectes superrufus)

A tricky bamboo specialist, we spent about two hours crawling around a sprawling Guadua thicket and only getting glimpses until we stumbled upon a path cutting through it, and found the twistwing hunting maybe 5 meters off said path, in an area with a much more open understorey, where it gave us beautiful views!

A simply fabulous image, of this amazing looking bird. Well worth the trouble it took to get this shot!

Congratulations Thibaud!

You have added an image of a species not previously represented in the Gallery.

And because of that prior lack of representation, there was not an image in the Opus article. Therefore, your image will be added to Opus as the First Image for the species as soon as time allows me to do so.

Stay tuned!

Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
