I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what type this is. Panama is definitely THE place for birding!

It's one of the female manakins.  I don't have any Central American books at the moment, but I can find out for you in a day or two.

How green was it?   It looks pretty green as opposed to olive.  Blue-crowned, perhaps?

Yeah it looks most like a Blue-crowned Manakin.

Thanks, the blue crowned manakin makes sense because I did see the male in the same spot. Just didn't get a good shot off:o)
