bird near Cariari, Costa Rica

screech-owl · Tuesday 10th March 2009, 15:42

I found this bird along a roadside at El Zota Biological Station in Costa Rica. It is probably something obvious but the bill length keeps throwing me off.

Thanks,
Corey

Looks to be a female Olive-crowned Yellowthroat (Geothlypis semiflava).
Bill size looks about right compared to this Panamanian male:
