Yellow-hooded blackbird

The yellow-hooded blackbird (Chrysomus icterocephalus) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae. It is found in grassy and brush areas near water in northern South America, and is generally fairly common. It is sexually dimorphic, and the sexes resemble the respective sexes of the larger yellow-headed blackbird of North America, though the male yellow-hooded blackbird lacks white in the wings.
