Went with Wang Peck to BTNR this afternoon and her sharp eyes caught sight of this Giant Redeye in the shaded areas. This shot is taken by her as I did not get a good angle.

Definitely not a Giant Redeye. It doesn't have the characteristic purple-blue transverse bands. My take is that it's one of the Erionota sp. either thrax or torus.

Thanks SK. This is probably the largest specimen I've seen of the redeye skippers.
