Bird name: Black Crowned Tityra
Latin: Tityra inquisitor
Other: Eastern Mexico to northeast Argentina
Family: Tityridae • Tityras
Range:

The Black-Crowned Tityras lack the red ocular skin and bill colouring of the Masked Tityra. Male Black-Crowned Tityras (above) are largely black and white, with black head above the eye. Directly below, I think, is a female with chestnut sides to head.

These Black-Crowned Tityras were also seen at the Ammo Ponds in central Panama.
