Good question Tom, it's on the back of his neck, not visible in this photo.

Beautiful Peter!
This hummer is one of the hummers on the video link, 'Beauty of pollination' Well, maybe not this particular bird...
Another species is a Plain capped star throat.
There are beautiful blue Orchid bees.

Peter - If there was ever a perfect shot of a White-necked Jacobin, I think you manage to capture it! Wonderful photo of this beautiful and graceful bird!
