Blue-black Grassquit (Volatinia jacarina) - 31Jul2019

This grassquit species has a massive range from Mexico down throughout Central and South America.  I have photographed them a few times but the best photo is below from my first trip to Colombia.  They are sexually dimorphic with the females being a drab brown color and the males a glossy black that almost looks blue when the light hits just right.
