Golden-browed Chlorophonia
At Miriam's Restaurant in the Savegre Valley of Costa Rica there are fruit feeders outside that attract tons of local birds.
When my wife and I arrived there was a large tour group on the patio watching the feeders. One of these birds popped up and otherwise polite birders were elbowing and nearly crawling over each other to get a shot.
We decided to order some lunch (Casado con pollo) and wait for the crowd to clear out. After a very good lunch, and with the place mostly to ourselves, we hung around the feeders and eventually another Chlorophonia showed up.
(Only males have the "golden brow," so this is probably a female)
