Spotted Owlet on a Sapodilla tree (Athene brama)

This is my first time seeing a spotted owlet in this area. I happen to be at the right spot and my niece pointed out a movement in the Sapodilla foliage around 20 metres from our position. This was taken in that 5 second window we got.

A beautiful, cute, and shy bird that we adored.
