Isn't this just the sweetest little bird you've ever seen?

I love this bird. Its called a Golden-headed manakin. It is a softbill bird & it is not related to the Munias. It is tiny at under 4". Birds Express gets them in occassionally at $400.00 ea. :shock: Out of my league but I sure would love a pair if I had the money & did softbills.
