@envisionarySteve i found other images, will upload them later. When the bird comes out in the sun it starts to 'glow'
Maybe the color is somewhat faded due to bad light under the leafs. I'll check my pictures whether I have more with brighter color.
Nice spot, and nice shot! A more faded orange breasting than we see in the Americas ... handsome bird.
