2013-11-29 Reserva de la Biósfera Calakmul, Mexico Adult. Probably male because of the bright colors. Moving unaffectedly around on the ruin ground in small groups, and also along the closest part of the access road. Ocellated = ocelli = eye spots (blue) on upper tail coverts and tail. |

2016-01-05 Tikal PN, Guatemala 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. |

2016-01-07 Tikal PN, Guatemala 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 |
