SUNBITTERN   -   EURYPYGIDAE

Sunbittern Eurypyga helias helias Fazenda Santa Tereza (Pantanal Wildlife Center), Mato Grosso state, Brazil. While it's an elegant bird even at rest, you can't truly appreciate it until you see the fantastic starburst pattern on its flight feathers. It's a hard thing to photograph but I'll keep trying!
