Bright-rumpled Attila

Bright-rumpled Attila: Las Tardes Ecological Project, Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica — My only excuse for this photo is that this very common bird of the Central American tropics is also very hard to see…the field guides say “more often herd than seen.” Not a great photograph, but it does show the bright rump that gives the bird its name, and the hooked beak that gives it its character! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. (I had to dig the bird out of the shadows and it is a heavy crop.) ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
