OK it’s answer time
this one is the same female Green Trainbearer from the photo I posted before but she’s turned so you can’t see the long tail-- thus she is super hard to distinguish (in a photo where you have just this angle) from one of many other green spotty hummingbirds, for example, Many Spotted Hummingbird…

(PS-- so cute birb is blushing with false modesty)
“i will floof you until you scream for mercy”
in a way
northern South America
i’ve seen them in Ecuador but this photo was taken in northern Peru
Nikon Z8 + Nikkor 400mm f/4.5
1/640 sec, f5.6, ISO-2800
it was pretty overcast, so i had to go with a pretty slow shutter speed & shallow depth of field but he was working the flowers enough that i got one (out of many) photos that weren’t too motion blurred
autofocus setting was 3D/bird
they are so adorable
