Can someone confirm/identify these 2 birds as female and male Ultramarine Grosbeaks? Taken in Ceibas Argentina in May 5
Thanks
Chris

Haven't we seen these photos before? The female, at least, is a shiny cowbird. As the name suggests, grosbeaks have a stupendously heavy bill, which is not the case for your female. The male is really hard to be confident about given we can't see anything useful from this angle, but as I recall you photographed it alongside a few other cowbirds.

Bill's completely wrong on the first one, agree with Nartreb for shiny cowbird.

Thanks Nartreb and Bewick. Sorry I was having a senior moment.
