Red-legged honeycreeper        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The several species of honeycreepers are characteristic nectar-feeders in Central and South American tropical forests.   These red-legged honeycreepers (female at left, male at right) are perhaps the commonest species.   I took the photos in a small private garden in Gamboa, Panama.
