Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus)
A visually striking bird spotted near the beach in Lima, Peru, where there didn't look to be too many places it could find its preferred prey.
It sat for us while I took a few photographs, then flew off just seconds after I'd pressed record for the video.
Nevertheless, the video is here, with accompanying information:

The scarlet flycatcher or austral vermilion flycatcher is a species of flycatcher, closely related to the vermilion flycatcher. It is found in southeastern Bolivia and Brazil, Paraguay to Argentina and Uruguay.
