Cinnamon Hummingbird - Amazilia rutila (Amazilia rutila)

This was the first hummingbird I saw perched for longer than 5 seconds. The ones before this were constantly on the move and impossible to get photos of.
This species occurs from Mexico south to northern Costa Rica and prefers dry forests, so the habitat was a lot different from where most other hummingbird species were seen.
