Makes me want to eat a guava...really nice, Dan!
Dan Doucette
I don't know a lot about birds but I think avesjohn is right on this one. Look at the dark patch behind the golden tanager, its not there in the spot-breasted oriole, but I'm open to any ideas.

Thanks again avesjohn for the ID and thank you J and Ajwerko.
