S'ok Dan, it was just a suggestion after a cursory glance. Looking at the pictures, Craig is spot on. Interesting!

Thanks Kunzah but I think craig has it. I searched that lead and found Psittacanthus ramiflorus, looks a lot like it. It's definitely a Psittacanthus species. http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Psittacanthus+macrantherus

Hard to tell from the crop of the last shot, but this looks very much like a mistletoe in the Loranthaceae with its flowers about to open. I know nothing of Loranthaceae of the New World but the suggestion from the last pic that it is hanging off the tree, with slightly leathery green leaves, is very familiar to their habit here.
