Hi Maurisse!
I "think" it is a masked crimson tanager (Ramphocelus nigrogularis). This one is on my list from 2011 and the photo looks like Explorama Lodge too.
The coordinates for Explorama lodge are : Lat: -3.45, Long: -72.853
You can find the coordinates for the other lodges under the "details" tab of the mission!
I spotted this at Explorama Lodge down river from Iquitos but site would not let me put this in as location. Beautiful red on this bird and song was sweet.
