Observation details

Spotted it three of the last four mornings in the early morning, was able to get poor photos of it. Great looks with binocs, it has a rosy-red throat, appearance of white line from chin to eye to neck, stout body shape similar to RUHU but maybe be slightly larger. It fed on shrimp plants once each morning, then not again while I was watching. Did not feed on nectar feeder. Photos and audio recording (2:26 mark) tba.
