Yellow-bellied Elaenia (Elaenia flavogaster) - 14Apr2019 & 28Jul2019

Update: I ended up getting better photos of this species on my trip later in 2019 to Colombia. This one was photographed at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, which is also the home of Shakira.



Elaenias can be tricky but luckily Cozumel doesn't get too many so its fairly easy to differentiate them.  This Yellow-bellied Elaenia stayed hidden under the canopy which made it difficult to get a true feeling for color, but other field marks including the raised crest gave it away.
