I went on a photo workshop to Ecuador with Greg Downing a few years ago. Had a great time and got some nice shots - especially hummingbirds using multiple flashes.

I finally got around to putting some of the pics from the trip on my pbase site. I have not been able to ID this hummingbird. Sure would like to determine what species it is.

Also, if any of you folks who are knowledgeable about Ecuador birds wouldn't mind, please take a look at my Ecuador pbase gallery http://www.pbase.com/brucesherman/ecuador and let me know if I have all of them identified correctly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Great looking image, but have no idea of the species.

Male Green-crowned Brilliant, nicely done. All of the images in your gallery look correct.
