Un identified hunmimgbird seen in Amazonia Lodge. The first time seen was in October of 2006 in that time perch in a tree but to far for photos. Last year was seen in June again. But this year it is going to the feeders of the lodge. In general brownish coloration. In size it is like Gray breasted Sabreweing (Campylopterus largipennis). Could be an inmature or female but the books describing them don't give these patterns. Could be also an aberrant coloration but we saw at less 2 different birds with these patterns at the same time.
