Oriole blackbird

I was thinking the same about the red color, C.Sydes. I checked the link you recomended but I don't find the bird....so, I will check the wikipedia link... :) Thanks for the link Malcolm...

This is a list of all Colombian birds, with links to descriptions which mostly have pictures. I would suggest starting with Troupials and allies, then spreading out from there if you cannot find it.

I've been searching the web a bit but I can't find any Icterus species with the red eye wattle that this bird appears to have

Golden Orioles (genus Oriolus) are species of Europe/Africa/Asia. The New World has the genus Icterus, (which Wikipedia describes as a good example of convergent evolution). There are 10 species in the genus Icterus listed for Colombia in www.oiseaux.net, some of which are called orioles as popular names

Seems like Golden Oriole, not sure,
