Hello can I have a ID on this bird please photographed yesterday near Negril, Jamaica. I am not sure what it is my book is rubbish, Merlin is unable to identify. My first thought from the vivid red bill was a Streamer but I think that is wrong.

Hi Mike, I think this is most likely Red-billed Streamertail due to the red underside of the lower mandible, white in the undertail coverts, and green streaking on the flanks - this is not a species with which I've any field experience, and having not visited Jamaica before, I can't be certain if there are any other likely candidates (though I think the location and above features rules out black-billed streamertail).
Hopefully someone with experience with the species will chip in and confirm!
