  Thanks! Even the guide is not sure, he thinks this may be correct but it may also be a white-chinned. He would come back to me with the final answer, but not received yet. Posted 8 years ago

I love this beautiful bird and you have done such a great job of composing the image. The f5.6 gives a perfect depth of field in which to emphasize the jacamar. Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks a lot, Dave. I must be self critical on this one though, it's a big crop so quite noisy (see the tail). So composition happened afterwards via crop :) Posted 7 years ago
