Costa Rico hummingbird question

[Larry Shuman]

In 2011 I was new to shooting hummingbirds when I went to Costa Rico. I have misplaced my reference Costa Rico book. The bird that in focus is the Green Violet-era but the one that photo bombed me is the one in question. Ant help will be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the photo bomber is also a Green Violetear

I think it is a green-crowned brilliant.

If you have a smartphone, I highly recommend the Merlin bird app. The app is free and they have downloadable bird-packs for almost any area of the world. The app can give suggested ID’s based on an image, on a bird call, or can be used as a field guide.

I have Merlin, Peterson, and Audubon. All three are worth having.
