Yellow-hooded Blackbird

Chrysomus icterocephalus

The male Yellow-hooded Blackbird looks like a bandit with its black body and black eye-slits in its canary-yellow hood. The female has mostly dark brown plumage with a golden throat and some golden markings on her brown head. They come from northern South America.

Both slightly resemble the larger North American Yellow-headed Blackbird (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus) but the male's head is flufflier.
