SUNBITTERN   -   EURYPYGIDAE

Sunbittern Eurypyga helias helias Transpantanal Highway, Mato Grosso state, Brazil. While it's an elegant bird even at rest, you can't truly appreciate it until you see the fantastic sunbird pattern on its flight feathers. It's a hard thing to photograph but I'll keep trying! (D2)
