this one is the same female Green Trainbearer from the photo I posted before but she’s turned so you can’t see the long tail-- thus she is super hard to distinguish (in a photo where you have just this angle) from one of many other green spotty hummingbirds, for example, Many Spotted Hummingbird…

“i would have laughed if you told better jokes”-- grimly serious Laughing Falcon, probably
