Purple Throated Woodstar  Calliphlox mitchellii


Quite common at the Bellavista feeders but rarely perching, they were very regular at the feeders, so getting a shot at a plastic feeder was easy, not so easy to get a shot away from the feeders.  These were very small almost insects like hummers.  Extension tube needed to get good size in frame.
