Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a sec?
(Brian gives Peter the paper. Peter peruses the paper.)

I think it's a Plain Chachalaca, based on the gray head and neck, and the bare throat patch.
Agreed on the Plain Chachalaca, a bird I've never seen.
Also agreed on Chachalaca, also a bird I've never seen...
I think it might be a Chachachalaca, which is a South American variant.
