First I thought it was a bird - like a sparrow or similar. But it was a fly - close to the size of my hand...

As a side note: the author of The Lost World a.k.a Jurassic park got his inspiration for the book near Rurrenabaque, in the Madidi reserve. The Bolivian government just gave oil and gas exploration licenses in the same park to a few international companies.
