Birded Quintana Roo in December on a wet day.

I though at first that this bedraggled might be a Red-throated Ant-tanager, as those were the birds I had most commonly seen in the lower canopy/undergrowth. But on reviewing the photos, I see some white in its wing-coverts. Maybe an oriole of sorts? Ideas?

Possibly an Altamira Oriole?? Can you post any more photos?

I only have one more, and it's not that great. But yes, there were lots of Altamira Orioles around, just not wet like this fellow.

Thanks! I still think that it could be an Altamira Oriole.
