White-bellied Wren (Uropsila leucogastra) - 15Apr2019

This particular bird gave me some trouble with ID at the time but after seeing another later in my trip and hearing its song, I was able to confirm.  The trouble originated by my tendency to ID birds based on my photos and comparing against field guides after the sighting is over.  The trouble with this photo was the leaf superimposed on the shoulder gave it a greenish hue. Later I realized that the bird was not greenish at all and it was simply a photo artifact.  This photo was taken at Muyil.  This site only has a few possible wrens without spots including an interesting subspecies of Carolina Wren, but I didn't see that.
