Oh oh, both species look alike! But I think you're right, Liam, it looks more like the Thick-billed Euphonia. Thank you! :)

Hmm...On second thought the extent of the yellow on the forehead seem to match Thick-billed Euphonia better.

Beautiful photo! It's a type of Euphonia, I can't differentiate the species very well due to my colorblindness, but I think the Violaceous Euphonia fits this bird pretty well. Once again, a truly beautiful photo!
