If my ID is correct on the following bird, it was another new species for me to photograph. It has the yellow throat/breast with white belly, white around the tail feathers, olive green back and two prominent wing bars. This may be incorrect, so you experts out in blogland/birdland, do specify the species for me if you think I'm wrong. Any assistance is always appreciated...
