    Not a great angle for an ID but I am pretty sure this is the Amethyst. The only other choice would be the Scarlet-chested, but I don't see any real red here. Posted 8 years ago

      Thanks, Claire Hamilton for the ID.
      The only red/orange I can see on this bird was on the cheek.       Posted 8 years ago
