This bird is interestingly colored. Nice image and BG. I do think it could be just a bit darker. Thanks for sharing. Am enjoying seeing these bird species you have been posting.

This is a beautiful bird. Nice head turn toward you, and nice handling of the color. I haven't had the privilege of photographing in Brazil. If this were mine, I would try cloning out that horizontal branch in the upper left corner as it seems to draw my eye from the bird. Nice post.

Nice bird and nice pose. I like the head tilt: the bird seems to look along that leaf in the FG. Well done.

Thank you all for the comments.

John Tobias, I'll keep posting new photos of new species.

Ralph Kerr (and all), if you have any interest in photographing in Brazil and need any help with information, let me know. I know good places, as well as some very good bird guides.

nice pose and detail on an interesting and attractive bird, Jefferson. I'd consider somewhat darkening the leaves at lower left and the branch at upper right--they sort of grab the eye being as bright as they are. nice to see your images, and I hope that as you get comfortable here at NPN you'll also share your perspective by commenting (recommended 5 comments per 1 post) on others' shots too.
