Awesome find!
I would love to invite you to my new mission for the birds of Ecuador: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/4508...
I don't know if the blue/purple matters either:

Thanks Victoria - they really are like flying jewels!
Jacob, I've checked my non-flash photos & this looks blue in those too.
Please confirm. Lovely spotting! I'm not sure because of the discrepancy of the breast being blue or a purple.
