This is the Bananaquit, Cambacica in Brazil, Coereba flaveola. It is funny to observe these little birds conteding for nectar with hummingbirds.
Something about it:
The Bananaquit is a very small bird attaining an average length of 11 cm. It has a slender, curved bill, adapted to taking nectar from flowers. It sometimes pierces flowers from the side, taking the nectar without pollinating the plant. It cannot hover like a hummingbird, and must always perch while feeding. It will also eat fruit and insects. It is resident in tropical South America north to southern Mexico and the Caribbean. It is a rare visitor to Florida, USA. |

Hello Fabiano,
You have posted a sharp shot and quite well composed but the subject is perhaps too small.
So I wondered if it could be improved in the WS.
TFS, regards, Ivan
