Can someone help me identify this inquisitive bird. I took this shot in an aviary in Playa del Carmen, Yucatan, Mexico last week. This was the only shot I have of it and the rest of the body was hidden behind a branch.

Beautiful shot, Pete!

What you have here is a White-throated Magpie-Jay (Calocitta formosa), which ranges from central Mexico to Costa Rica.
