Cyanocorax affinis
It is a species of bird in the Corvidae family.
It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
I must say it is my favorite bird, really exotic and super smart. Photographed at the Barranquilla zoo.

"Very beautiful, very attractive!"
I saw this kind of bird per the first time just 18 days ago, A great bird
absolutely beautiful!
What a neat bird!
Beautiful bird!
I told you! But now seeing both pictures at the same time I can say they are really different, Plush-crested have yellow eyes and Black-chested white eyes with grey marks! But the plumaged are quite similar.
And I'm totally agree, beautiful, elegant birds.
You're absolutely right the Black-chested and Plush crested jay are very simillar! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/261...
They're beautiful little birds. I especially love the closeup in your series, It really highlights the dark, rich blue colour.
