White-Breasted wood-wren - Henicorhina leucosticta

NF Photo 110210 Rancho Naturalista at 6.10h in the morning. Lamp light.

This was a little bird hard to catch. We went up in the middle of the night to see it. And had a little help with a lamp and a feeding place in the forest. Of course provided by the lodge. Mostly found in mature wet forest like the one we were in. High altitude rain forest of CR.
