Crescent-faced Antpitta
Restricted to isolated pockets of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andeas, the diminutive Crescent-faced Antpitta is one of the most reclusive Grallaria family members. This individual revealed itself at a feeding station at Hacienda El Bosque at 10,000 feet in Colombia's Central Andes. There very little ambient light and a lot of obscuring vegetation, so I was happy to get a sharp shot without too many distracting elements in the frame. The crop is a bit tight, but it's almost full frame because my shooting window was so small.
Hacienda el Bosque, Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, 7/3/19
