Hi Natty, the Epaulet oriole in Guaviare belongs to the Moriche (sub)species, meaning it would have a dark bill and a golden cap. This is a Yellow-rumped cacique. Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

  Hi Thibaud, Thanks for that, there's not a lot of information around about the epaulet, I think I was pointed there by one of the guides. Looking at it - definitely seems to be the yellow-rumped, also generally smaller. I'll amend, thanks again, cheers Posted 3 years ago

    Sure thing, I've had a lot of practice with both species recently, though the orioles lack the golden cap where I was! Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

      Thanks yes, and they are generally smaller, according to what I read today. Cheers Posted 3 years ago
