Chestnut-backed Antbird

This was another unusual sighting, and my first glimpse of an antbird. They typically stay deeply in the vegetation, making shooting them very difficult. While this shot has obvious deficiencies, I was excited to get any shot at all where basically the entire bird can be seen.
