Thank you guys! That bird was really photogenic.

Oh oh, both species look alike! But I think you're right, Liam, it looks more like the Thick-billed Euphonia. Thank you! :)

Hmm...On second thought the extent of the yellow on the forehead seem to match Thick-billed Euphonia better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thick-billed_Euphonia

Beautiful photo! It's a type of Euphonia, I can't differentiate the species very well due to my colorblindness, but I think the Violaceous Euphonia fits this bird pretty well. Once again, a truly beautiful photo! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violaceous_Euphonia
