This is a female shining honeycreeper at a place called La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. The male is purplish blue with black wings. A lot of biological research goes on in the rain forest of La Selva and there are always a lot of researchers and college students hiking around the many trails. Fortunately, they also allow tourists to the area (mostly to help fund the research) and it’s one of the best place in Costa Rica for birds.
