Wow, the light makes him look purple & orange in the first photo! :bow:

I guess it’s the BRBs who steal all the limelight normally ...

They are essentially a BRB from a different locale, Peru, and they tend to be more Orange/Red, with bolder black markings and are generally larger, https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a2bea02c46.jpg

Are they as iridescent as Brbs ...plus do they ‘change’ colour at night like they do ?

Yes mate, they’ve recently been reclassified as a “type of” BRB, but the classification goes back and forth, they have larger scales than BRB, which gives them a lower scale count and can be even more iridescent, they tend to be more red/Orange, and they both have the same Latin name. This is a better picture of one (not mine) and they tend to colour up more as they get older. They do change colour slightly at night yes https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52812ac8de.jpg
