Fairly common on Bonaire. These reminded me of Orioles, and indeed Troupials are in the same family as Orioles.

I made a couple updates. I created a Troupial taxon and added Bonaire, and moved the image there. Wikipedia notes that the Caribbean countries are usually included "geopolitically" with North America, so I put it there for now. We might want to end up using a more biologically-oriented grouping. It's new territory (whoops that's a pun). Hopefully whatever we learn can be put to use on BugGuide if it ever expands its borders.
Thanks for posting!
