Curl-crested Jay (Cyanocorax cristatellus) - 16Aug2022

This large corvid is almost endemic to Brazil, but does bleed over into Bolivia and Paraguay.  It has a large range which is currently expanding.  It prefers Cerrado and Caatinga habitats which are  quintessential Brazilian habitats consisting tropical savannah and semi-arid tropical scrubland.  I saw these in Chapada dos Guimaraes just north of the Pantanal in Brazil.
