Blown Opportunity :(

Pilica sp. Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.

 

Possibly P. formidolosa?

 

Doh!!! I saw this pair of gorgeous robbers land on some nearby foliage. I stealthily moved in nice and close, got camera in position and clicked off a shot. Looked at result and realized I had forgotten to turn flash on. Turned it on, moved to get back in position and the robbers got spooked and flew off to the trunk of a tree where I could not get close to them.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ.
