Large bird close up

This is a close view of the head of the bird that I showed yesterday.  Maybe this will help someone identify the type of bird that it is.  I am not a "birder," although I am getting better about identifying specific species of birds.  Tiny Costa Rica, the size of West Virginia, has more bird species that all of the USA and Canada combined.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  This week we are showing photos of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco.  It is huge in scale and intricate in detail.

    I surfed the web using several different key words but could find nothing on this bird. I did see images of some gorgeous birds, tho. Amazon offers a publication on the birds of Costa Rica that might help. I tried, David!

    Nope, I still don't recognize it but, I love that touch of red at the throat.

    It does look a little turkey like. This is not a good time to look like a turkey in the US.

    Some ranger in Monteverde told us the national park there had more species of birds than the US. Possible. I could live happily, though, without knowing the genus and species of this ugly critter.
