Likely a male because of the strong colors. Appeared less lively than the birds in Calakmul, and only saw 8 as highest number. And always close to the Gran Plaza. This bird is however a bit different with the funny knob dangling from the neck. Haven't been able to find anything like it, photos nor description. |

Male. Some 3-4 birds were hanging out on top of a ruin which I of course had to take advantage of. They stayed up there quite a while, but eventually decided to fly down one by one. Best photos |
