Black-throated Tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus granadensis) - 14Aug2024

This little montane forest tyrant flycatcher has seven sub-species all which have some morphologic differences.  I saw first one in the Santa Marta range in Colombia which is isolated from the others and could be ripe for a future split but I never got a photo until I went back to Colombia in 2024 and saw one of the other sub-species.  I got great looks, but getting a picture of these fast moving flycatchers that flit around from branch to brach is very difficult.
