According to google reverse image search, it’s a ‘Coppery-headed Emerald’

Cheers Larry, you’re welcome!
The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology has a free app called Merlin. It has free bird packs for much of the world, including Costa Rica. I have it on my iPad and iPhone. I assume there is also an android version.
Merlin has a photo ID feature that will attempt to ID a bird from a photo, the date you photographed it and the location. I have found this feature very useful at times. If you have downloaded the relevant bird pack or packs ahead of time, it generally works without an internet connection.
I tried the photo above without specifying a location and used today’s date. The first bird on the list was the Coppery-headed Emerald. Same bird found by beano.
