I hadn't either. I looked at all the usual places I look on the internet to find an ID and I could not find a picture that looked like this one. I am thankful for the help I got on this forum. Ann

I haven't either. I have no idea where you are, so I hope the ID is correct. My daughter is home this weekend, and she was confident this is it.

She saw them in Paraguay this Summer, so it was easy for her. Their range is too far west for Rhonda and me. Too bad, it is really beautiful.
