Olive sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi)

These wonderful flycatchers have been passing through Costa Rica lately. Just as one sees them on their breeding grounds, they perch on the very tips of trees like a star or angel on a Christmas tree, and are always found alone. The same day I saw this one at Rara Avis, I also had 5 others in the same area.
