Mystery bird in San Jose, Costa Rica (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I was poking around the web looking for help with IDing a bird, and this site seems like a great resource; looking forward to coming back frequently! I've been birding for a few years, but I've never been to Central America, so I'm having trouble helping my brother with this sighting. The picture was taken in a park in downtown San Jose, Costa Rica a couple of days ago. Hope you guys can help! Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Boat-billed Flycatcher maybe?

the only other options would be great kiskadee or social flycatcher. but the apparent size of the bird, and it's bill relative to it, make me think your Boat-Billed FC is right...
