Lo siento - the video is shaky - but something is better than nothing, and I hope this is helpful. Lisa
Observation details
Yes, The photos attached were sent to Daniel Arias for help with identification, as I was 'stumped.' The location was in understory between three grand Ceibo trees and there were mixed species in a three-scrubby tree area. Time of sighting: 4:33 pm. The trail is rank and rarely traveled by cyclists during the rainy season. Tropical Gnatcatcher, Elegant Crescentchest, Female Black and White Becard, Southern Beardless Tyrannulet, Necklaced Spinetails, Collared Antshrike - all competing for which one to try to photo, as most were darting around in perpetual motion --- and then a Streaked Flycatcher started its normal loud-mouth calls, and I switched to it to confirm - yes/ click click, and then it flew away and I saw the mystery bird and managed to take several photos and a short video before the bird moved away - and I then saw a nest hanging from the tip of a supple limb - about fifteen feet from where the Warbler had been perched, so I froze and watched the nest - and yes, movement - but it was the Bran-colored Flycatcher tending that nest.... This is the same area as the Black-billed Cuckoo, the Gray-capped Cuckoo, and where Cullen and Daniel reported the Black and White Tanager --- a true magical spot.
