Common Squirrel-Cuckoo
Very striking and long-tailed bright rusty cuckoo, widespread in tropical lowlands and locally up into foothills. No similar species in its Mexican and Central American range, but in the Amazon compare with Black-bellied Cuckoo. Occurs in a wide range of wooded and forest edge habitats. Mostly seen foraging stealthily at mid-upper levels in trees, where it can be surprisingly difficult to see.
This one was photographed in Ecuador on a photography tour led by Juan Carlos Vindas of Neotropic Photo Tours.
