Original – The Collared whitestart (Myioborus torquatus) is a tropical New World warbler found in Panama and Costa Rica. Found in forests above altitudes of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), this species averages 12.5 centimetres (4.9 in) in length and weighs 11 grams (0.39 oz).

Reason: Good quality image of a colorful bird. We don't have many Central American species featured.

Support – The DOF is a little tight (the back foot is out-of-focus), but that doesn't spoil the image. I like the drops of water on the bird's back and tail. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Given the amount of light available (which may reflect the bird's habitat), I think the aperture chosen was the best choice. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:00, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Wow, this is a good one. I don't mind the DOF being a bit tight in this case. Mattximus (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
