Phaethornis, for sure, Bayuca, but I'm not seeing any green for it to be guy. Also this is not an area for guy. I am thinking probably lingirostris or maybe striigularis...

Nice shot but not unusual here...those Caracara go wholeheartedly after ticks for the blood and if they can't find any, they frequently will bleed the host by piercing the flesh with their beak to draw blood. The farmers here complain that this causes infections for their livestock and they will kill the birds if the get the chance...
