Cyanerpes lucidus
A beautiful Shining Honeycreeper spotted in Sarapiqui, Costa Rica. The male is purple-blue with black wings, tail and throat, and bright yellow legs, very similar in appearance to the Red-legged Honeycreeper but with yellow rather than red legs. The female is very different and has green upperparts, a greenish-blue head, buff throat and buff-streaked bluish underparts.
