Helminthothaga luciae
The nest was certainly that
of Arripharus flaviceps, but it had
been used on a previous season
and undoubtedly the H. luciae
used it instead of building a
new one in a crevice or some
similar place; I have found
many old nests of H. luciae. Some
more in knot holes, woodpecker holes,
behind loosened bark, in crevices.
