Not a shot of the whole bird of course and his face is in shadow but I liked that it shows his environment and of course prey.

I'm just going to take the opportunity to mention for the birders here that Colombia "won" Global Big Day this year with 1,486 species reported (according to Revista SEMANA). Peru was next followed by Ecuador. The high count was due in small part at least to the fact that it is safer now than it used to be and riders can go places they couldn't ten or even five years ago. Of course in Colombia there's usually a glitch. The Minister of Commerce, María Claudia Lacouture posted congratulations on social media with an image of a bird endemic to India. She changed it later to a Golden-headed Manakin.

I suppose there was no way to retrieve the dark face
but you are absolutely right about its environment! (y)
