Baeolophus wollweberi
This bird was spotted in a riparian area in southern Arizona. It was preening, and did not seem to mind my close presence.
Madera Canyon...riparian woodland about 40 miles north of the US/Mexico border. They are generally found in eastern and south central Arizona, as well as northern Mexico.

The photo was under-exposed, even with flash...some of the color may have been how I set the white balance.
It's from the flash, Desmond.
But the throat looks green and the head looks blue in the second pic.
Indeed it is!
Cool bird!
