Chopi Blackbird (Gnorimopsar chopi) - 13Aug2022

This monotypic blackbird of south and east South America is widespread, common and forms large flocks like our Red-winged Blackbird.  Like our blackbird it is very vocal although I think this one has a more melodic song.  We had tons of them visiting the feeders at Pousada Aguape in the southern Pantanal of Brazil.  They look a lot like the Screaming Cowbird but have a longer more pointy bill.
