A bud and I spent two days at the Asa Wright Center in Trinidad years ago. Hiked down to the Oil Bird cave and saw many birds. The highlight of our stay was spotting and getting really close to two English Double Breasted Mattress Thrashers. I will look for images to post.

Can you at least describe the plumage?

A few more beautiful exotics with absolutely gorgeous plumage were spot in the Preserve at last weekend's Birdwatching trip.
Also best to see them before they put on winter feathers😉😎
