Rufous-headed Pygmy Tyrant (Pseudotriccus ruficeps)

A lovely little cloud-forest flycatcher, more easily seen than heard, this one was kind enough to pop up right in front of me and while we froze, looking at each other, I had just enough time to get that one shot before the crossed the path and vanished in the bamboo thickets!

WOW!

Nice image you have presented here.

An image that appears, to me at least, to be the first for this species added to the Gallery.
It will be added to Opus as soon as I can work it up.

Congratulations!
