This White-throated Spadebill had made its nest right beside the path, in the forked stem of young tree. The canopy was very dark and wet, even at midday.
The White-throated Spadebill is differentiated from other Spadebills in Panama by its white throat. A very small bird. Seen in the highlands of El Valle.
