Pitangus sulphuratus
The Great Kiskadee is a common, noisy and conspicuous bird. It is almost omnivorous, and hunts like a shrike or flycatcher, waiting on an open perch high in a tree to sally out to catch insects in flight, or to pounce upon rodents and similar small vertebrates.

You're welcome!
Thank you for your help
I did not see the 2nd picture when I posted my comment. The yellow feathers on the crown confirm it is most likely a Pitangus Sulphuratus.
I would think this is a Pitangus sulphuratus: the bill is slightly smaller, straight and not curved downward as for the Megarynchus pitangua.
voy a subirlas para que me ayudes
Si tienes otra foto fíjate en las primarias que deberían ser muy café para el Kiskadee, ademas para el Megarynchus, seria muy ancho el pico visto desde abajo...
Im not 100% sure, Im asking to confirm ID :)
Megarhynchus has a thicker bill, of those two I would probably say Pitangus. But I am not excellent with birds so no telling if I'm right or not lol
Not sure if it is a Pitangus sulphuratus or a Megarynchus pitangua
Oh nevermind guess you ID'd it :)
I'm not sure if this is the same, but definitely very similar. Look into Chlorospingus pileatus
