I used to confuse it with the Great kiskadee, I thought that's what they looked like before they changed feathers or something. Or that they were the females of the same species, then I managed to realize this mistake when I identified both species.
Cattle Tyrant
Machetornis rixosa (Family Tyrannidae)
In spanish we call it "Picabuey".
I find no difference between male and female, but I have a feeling that this bird captured in photos was a young bird.
They are almost always seen on the ground, have a grayish head with brownish dorsal parts, yellow neck and underparts, with long legs and thin black beak.
