Charming Hummingbird (Amazilia decora)

This male Charming Hummingbird was singing all morning long from a perch at the edge of old second growth. Despite also being called "Beryl-crowned Hummingbird", one almost never sees color on this species. The reddish on the lower mandible stands out much more than any blue on the chest or crown.

Oooh! Patrick, how did this super picture slip through the net without a comment so far.

A lovely bird and new to the Gallery - I've added it to the Opus article.

Thanks
