Common Potoo, Metropolitan Park, Panama City

This Common Potoo was in the Metropolitan Park in Panama City, a large protected area within that heavily urbanized city in Central America. I was lucky to see it thanks to a knowledgeable local guide with whom I visited the park. (There is some colour from its slightly open eye due to reflection from the flash I used in its shady setting.) This species occurs widely in South America, and as far north as Nicaragua in Central America.
