We also have Common Bronzewings, but this looks quite different? Clear eye-bar and striking iridescence.

Fantastic sighting, this species is quite rare in the CNM region, and not commonly recorded. The rich chestnut upperparts are distinctive compared to Common Bronzewing.

Bravo Markus, what with the pristine bush, amazing view and hydration provided, what more would a Brush Bronzewing want !?
