2017-04-23 Manglar El Castaño, Chiapas (Chp), Mexico Probably a male. Can't find any information about an immature plumage, so will assume that the diffuse tawny color on the cheek is part a natural male variation. Would have expected an adult female to show a strong-colored orange cheek-patch at this time of the year. Rather common in the mangrove here. |

2017-04-23 Manglar El Castaño, Chiapas (Chp), Mexico Another male. This one with more orange-buff on the cheek. They weren't shy as such, but always moving away when they saw us as we came paddling through the narrow passages. |

2017-04-23 Manglar El Castaño, Chiapas (Chp), Mexico Another male. Apparently unusual with the complete black arch between the bill and the cheek - can't find similar photos online. Also the buff front of the head looks unusually dark. |
