Not 100% sure about the ID on this one as nothing in either guide is 100% conforming to details. Taken in Costa Rica at Paraiso de Quetzal lodge in the cloud forest. Could be Talamanca HB female.

Sweet in-flight pose at the flower, and a nice colorful blossom for the bee. Great job with the depth-of-field. Can't see the color of the gorget, but if it is red you have a Ruby-throated Hummingbird (male), which winters in that area.

This is just too good a shot. Beautiful freeze, lovely details on the bee, flower & the bird. Outstanding background.

Regards.

Gorgeous image! So much to enjoy here, beautiful bird and blossom, perfect dof, excellent detail and all the extras - bees and wasp. A beauty!
