Sunbittern
Brazil

The sunbittern (Eurypyga helias) is an elegant, solitary bird from Central and South American tropics, known for its camouflaged, drab plumage that hides brilliant, sun-like eyespots on its wings, flashed to startle predators or attract mates.

Sunbittern was one of my most wanted birds in Costa Rica. Here’s a back-of-camera shot I got of one snagging a crab midstream. Amazing encounter.

got commissioned to create a raptor design and im obsessed w her ‎➷♥︎
Digital reference sheet that contains a chibi, full body, and head shot of the character design. She is a fluffy feathery raptor whose color scheme and patterns resemble a pheasant coucal, a sunbittern, and a cross fox.

Lots of birds have great camouflage. The Sunbittern looks like the boulders they traverse. You have to watch the river until you spot a boulder that is moving. And if you get lucky they will show you what they are hiding under their wings. #birdsseenin2026 #CostaRica #hummingbirds #nikon #z8
A Sunbittern steps out to stand balanced on a gray rock in the middle of a shallow, flowing stream. The bird is captured from the side, showcasing its slender neck, long legs, and intricate brown, gray, and black patterned plumage that blends into the natural environment. Closer view of the Sunbittern as it walks across rocks to cross the river. The birds overall body is round gray with black and white markings to match the rocks of its environment. It has a long slender neck that is rust in color. Its head is gray with two white stripes that are above and below the eye. Its beak is long and black on top and orange below. An adult sunbittern viewed from behind spreads its wings wide to reveal a dramatic, symmetrical pattern resembling giant eyes. The upper plumage of the back and wings features intricate, horizontal barred stripes of black, gray, and brown. When fully extended, each wing displays a large, vivid eyespot with a dark central circle rimmed in crisp white, surrounded by a broad band of rich chestnut-orange and bright yellow. The sunbittern's small head is looking straight ahead., and its long, slender tail is closed and mirrors the black and gray banding of the wings.

The highlight of my Costa rica trip was a chance meeting with this Sunbittern, due to a flooded road we had to spend an extra night at our hotel #birds #birding #birdwatching #wildlife #costarica #birdphotography #sunbittern
