      Just took the picture in the backyard, noticed a Rufous repeatedly diving at it trying to chase it away but it held its ground and seems to have taken over the prime part of the yard.

      I put the two times teleconverter on the 400 2.8 to get some reach out to 800 mm and she landed on the perch in no time, as soon as I move around she leaves.

      The back is a lot darker green than the Rufous juvi's that are around and when there chasing you can really see the difference.



      Here is a close-up of the primaries, hopefully tomorrow I can get some pics that show them better.
