Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge, Corcovado National Park, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica (January 2016)

Thanks to my guide Cynthia for spotting this bird. It was very mobile, continually moving from branch to branch, so was difficult to photograph in the dark conditions of the rain forest. Status is Least Concern.
