Thank you all

Good one. Wish I had them in my woods.

Apparently (I have never seen them either) they do live near Cali - not my photo which is why I am putting a link but they have been seen in Pance near Cali.
Cacicus cela - Yellow-rumped Cacique - Cacique Lomiamarillo - Arrendajo Culiamarillo 05

BTW, I have never been to Pance my wife thinks it is dangerous. However it sounds interesting.

Yes they are around but a little lower down from where I am. I haven't heard of Pance being dangerous but maybe it is. The Rio Pance is the destination for caleños on weekends and the traffic along that road is horrendous.

Here's a link to Valle de Cauca on Dataves. Includes maps of where birds have been seen.

I just realized the Flicker page you linked is Juan José Arango's. He's a terrific bird photographer. He came to my place to get pictures of the Multicolored Tanager.

The first is a lovely shot with that emerald like eye shining nice and bright. The 2nd one has some visible noise.
