Update... I pimped a local Wildlife Biologist. He believes it to be a rare citing of a wayward Central American traveller (re:illegal bird alien)... but could not name genus/species. Just his opinion. Hope the local Red – tail hawks don’t see him as an hors d’oevure.
Couldn't reference the bird in my texts.
a very cool visitor....:C

That sounds like a good guess. Birds do get loose from collectors, zoos and breeders. Here in So Cal and the SW states, people have been known to smuggle exotic birds in cars re-entering the US with often disastrous results for the animal. Unfortunately, a colorful guy like that does call attention to himself. :(
