This is probably one of the most bizarre birds in the world. They are the only birds that live primarily off of eating leaves. Also, as young they have claws on their wings that help them climb.
Here is a photo of one from a flock that live around a small lake in Yasuni National Park in Ecuador where I spent several weeks this spring.

They are so bizarre that Nikon's subject recognition doesn't recognize them as a bird and so eye-tracking is difficult.

Great shot, cool looking bird, I have actually never even heard of them.

I’m speechless, this shot is so good. Never heard of this bird before, looking forward to more from this trip. Ecuador’s not mentioned for trips that often. Obviously it should be.

I was in the Ecuadorean Amazon in 2009 and got photos of them. However I only had a 70-300 4.5-5.6 lens and a D300 so I they were not particularly good. You got a great shot! I think they are quite beautiful birds.
