I did and I didn't get an id.

Some of the IDs come a long time after you post them. You should certainly get IDs to at least family , tribe etcetera because your photos are clear, sharp and definitive. Do you post on the Colombia iNat?

I have had quite a lot of Colombian ids so I think it is one thing.
A lot of these I posted last year on inaturalist.

I think you can narrow the scope to Colombia if you want. Not sure how I set my account to Colombia but when I go to "Dashboard" I see only "New observations from Colombia".
