Bearded Bellbird / Procnias averano, Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad

Bearded Bellbird / Procnias averano, Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad
This is such an interesting bird to look at and to listen to. The YouTube link below (not my video) will let you hear the bell-like sound.

"Neotropical bellbird (or simply bellbird) is the common name given to passerine birds of the genus Procnias, found in the Neotropics. They are members of the cotinga family. In some parts of their range, they are sometimes referred to as "araponga". They are all restricted to tropical or subtropical humid forested regions, often in low mountains or foothills. As indicated by their common name, they all have very loud voices.

Three of the four species are restricted to South America, while the last, the three-wattled bellbird, is restricted to southern Central America.

They are strongly sexually dimorphic. Males have an at least partially white plumage, and facial wattles or bare facial skin. Females lack the wattles/bare facial skin, and are overall olive with yellowish streaks below." From Wikipedia.
