A bunch of these were flying from tree to tree near my house, possibly mating. I'm not sure what to ID it as, but the throats were a pale yellow and the rest of the bird was small thin and greyish. Too bad I didn't get a photo.

Saw this indoors. Never seen one quite like it with the odd plumage that makes it look like a rhinoceros.
