I am going to make a big assumption and put it to you that it migrated north during the summer and has returned to the farm for the winter, picking up a flock along the way and leading them back here. It has pink legs and its bill is orange with pink on the upper mandible, towards the tip.

I’ve been leading a small but faithful group on Trinidad for several years to count birds within a livestock farm that is generally restricted to the public (you can read about some of those shenanigans here ); this was the first time I was to embark on a CBC on the smaller island of Tobago.
