hummingbird and flycatcher from Carrara NP, Costa Rica
Bird 1 and 2 is the same hummingbird which i saw inside carrara NP. I am thinking of a scaly breasted hummingbird but find it very "scaly".
Bird 3 and 4 where seen at the same location, same time but am not sure it was indeed the same bird as they where flying around. Was seen at the road near Cerro Lodge. I am thinking of a nuttings because I do see some rufous in its wings. Hope somebody can help. Regards, Geert |

Thanks Niels,
There was definitely a rufous tailed on the location. On all the photo's of this particular bird I see however a postocular white (or at least light) spot which I am not familiar with in rufous-tailed. Is this just a light effect or can Rufous-tailed have such spot as well? Regards, Geert |

The hummingbird is a Charming Hummingbird. There was on that showed up briefly before being chased away by a Rufous-tailed.
The flycatcher could be either a Nuttings or a Brown-crested and both occur in that area. Not sure from that image. It seems to have the big crest of a Brown-crested but the bill looks more like the size of Nuttings. I recall hearing Brown-crested in the area while the bird in the photo came out to a pygmy-owl call but it wasnt that bird in the image that vocalized.

Thanks Patrick,
We indeed did see also a charming hummingbird here but again this post-ocular spot gave me some doubts. concerning the flycatcher I have added 2 more photo's that hopefully may help. These are for sure the same bird as on photo 3 of the original post. Because of the sun and as we didn't see them singing we couldn't ID this bird properly at the time. Regards, Geert |

Is it based on these 2 photos still not possible to tell if this is a nuttings or brown-crested flycatcher?
If not, I leave it as unidentified Myiarchus. Regards, Geert |
