A Speckled Tanager photographed in Costa Rica. One of the prettiest birds I saw there, in my opinion.

I wasn't there to see the other birds, but that bird is so beautiful I'm inclined to agree with you, the markings and colors are exquisite. I can hardly imagine one being more so.
Great set/shooting.

Thanks Kirk. There were many beautiful birds there, but this was one I had not seen before. To see it and photograph it made it seem special; it doesn't hurt that it is so pretty and seemingly unusual.

Beautiful images!!

Thanks George!

What a gorgeous bird and you've done a superb job with it.

I appreciate that Louie, thanks.
 
Outstanding, Fred! A new bird for me, and I've been to CR 3 times! Where did you find this beauty?

Thanks Karen. This bird was photographed between Fortuna and Tarcoles, although I'm not exactly sure where. We made a stop at a new location for lunch as our guide had heard chatter about the Speckled Tanager having been seen here. Even our guide had not photographed it before. It turned out to be a great location for a number of species, so we stayed for several hours, had lunch and then were on our way.
 
Very nice! I’ve photographed in CR 4 times and have not seen this one either. Nice job!

This was my second trip, and first time seeing this guy. Even our guide, who has been there more than a dozen times, got his 1st picture of this bird with us. Guess we were at the right place at the right time. Thanks for commenting.

Very nice work ! Not an easy group to impress and I think you have done just that. Unique speaks.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. That's part of what this hobby is all about - sharing what we see with others.

That is a pretty bird, Fred, and well captured. Nice job.

Dan - I appreciate that . Thanks.
