Unknown Pantanal Bird (1 Viewer)

[ScottSobel]

Hello. Does anyone have a clue what species this bird is? I hate to get a decent photo and not be able to identify the bird.

The bird was at the river's edge on the Paraguay River in the Brazilian Pantanal.

Perhaps the bird is immature. I have not been able to find any similar plate for a bird with this beak.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Female Unicoloured Blackbird I think.

I also think it is a female Unicolored Blackbird (Agelasticus cyanopus)

Nice picture too.

Thank you all. Yes. Searching for other photos (as well as looking at the one posted by Andrew) confirms it. I really need to get the new Brazil bird book. There is no way I would have guessed this from my old Souza book.

Yes it looks like a female Unicolored Blackbird.
