Louisiana Waterthrush Scene C-RICA SER 2 (Parkesia motacilla)

Although this bird looks very much like a thrush, it is really a New World warbler. This bird was feeding on aquatic insects in a rocky fast-flowing stream. After downloading this scene, I'll download a zoomed-in closeup of the bird, itself.
Habitat
Rocky fast-flowing mountain stream
Location
Stream paralleling road by Sueos del Bosque Lodge, San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica
Date taken
14 December 2015
Scientific name
Parkesia motacilla
Equipment used
Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 500 mm II f/4 + 1.4x
This bird is not a "Thrush," despite the fact that the term appears in the bird's name. It is a New World warbler or "wood warbler," as stated in the Photo Details.
