Pale-billed Woodpecker - perhaps one of the ugliest woodpeckers on the planet.
Great shot Jack! If you mean the detail in the wings -forget it: you got the motion and I think I like it better this way.The hummingbirds were dazzling wherever we went. This Violet Sabrewing was common in the Turialba region. 1/640 at 800 mm so a little lacking in detail.View attachment 184150

These are great shots, and what's really nice that they are in the wild and not eating from a plastic feeder.I'm finally getting the ID of the hummingbirds sorted out. Some have have M/F the same, others not, not to mention local variations and colour differences due to lighting or high ISO noise or poses that hide features. Ugh.
White-throated Mountain-gem Hummingbird.
Purple-throated Mountain-gem Hummingbird - female so no purple throat.
Green Violet-ear Hummingbird.

Great picture Jack, the colours come out so well; lighting is very nice - in short, excellent - and you're forgiven any (íf any... ) lack of detailThe hummingbirds were dazzling wherever we went. This Violet Sabrewing was common in the Turialba region. 1/640 at 800 mm so a little lacking in detail.
