Montezuma Oropendola

This bird is a Montezuma’s Oropendola at the Laguna del Lagarto Lodge on 14 July 2017. I have previously posted images of these huge blackbirds as they courted. Males have extra skin on either side of their chin—no clue what these structures are used for, presumably impresses their mates or intimidates their rivals.
