Nice shot : looks like a cross between a cuban tody and our spotted flyctacher.

Thanks guys...

This bird is kind of a target for most of the birders visiting Costa Rica and not so many go back home with one sight of them... I'm so happy with this fellow that made me -even- step back to get him in focus with my 300mm!!!
