The Sun Bittern comes from Central America, including the northern part of South America. It is well-camouflaged in its forest habitat and is a wading bird like herons and bitterns (but unrelated).

The male Sun Bittern will display his colourful wing and tail feathers when courting or threatening rivals or predators. The full display makes him larger and shows an "eye" on each wing.

Couldn't get him to face the camera with the display!
