Very very nice FrodoBaggins, beautiful bird. I would see them often in the winter in Naples, but 40 miles southeast, I have yet to see one

Thanks for looking and the clarification. I see the difference after comparisons. Very easily mistaken I see.

Great capture - getting detail in those glossy feathers is especially well done

He certainly is iridescent. Just look at the colors in his wings! Beautiful capture, Frodo!

I ran across these for the first time a few years ago in the Anahuac National Refuge. They are stunning colors in the sun. After further research I believe this to be the white faced and you possibly have the glossy. The differences I have learned are very subtle.

Thank you so much for the look and the kind comment Dixiegirl. Always glad when you like my work. The colors are just very unusual to me, but he can sure hide in the grass and shadows with them.

Thank you for looking in and for the kind comment. There are only a few places here on the gulf coast that host them.
