Passerini's Tanager Male C-RICA SER 2 (Ramphocelus passerinii)

The male of this species is virtually indistinguishable in the field from the male of the Cherrie's Tanager, but the Passerini's is restricted to the Caribbean slope, and the Cherrie's to the Pacific slope. The females are readily distinguishable, with the Passerini's (uploaded to this site a few minutes ago) much drabber than the Cherries (with redder breast and rump).
