ID tip

Male Baudo oropendolas are about 46 cm (18 in) long and females about 39.5 cm (16 in). The sexes are similar though females are smaller than males and have duller plumage. Adults have a mostly black head, breast, and belly. They have a patch of bare pinkish skin on their face and a pink wattle at the base of the bill. Their back, rump, wings, flanks, and crissum are chestnut. Their tail's central pair of feathers are black and the rest yellow; because the black ones are shorter than the others the tail often looks completely yellow from below. Voice: The Baudo oropendola's vocalizations have not been described but appear to be similar to those of the black oropendola and Montezuma oropendola (P. montezuma), which see here and here respectively.
