This is the first of our pretty Spring birds. Although it is found in Central and South America we only see them spasmodically. It has a very loud voice and kicks up a fuss until I take it's picture. They usually look a lot sleeker than this but we are having rotten English type Summer weather at the moment. A chilly 70° F 20° C with grey skies and constant drizzle.

Yes Myiozetetes similis
If you look at the head the concealed orange vermillion stripe is just visible.
