I think this is going to be Pleopeltis polylepis, unless there is a similar species in southernmost Mexico.

Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise (Seleucidis melanoleucus)Observer
dbeadleDescription
Male Twelve-wired Bird of Paradise. Photographed at Nimbokrang, West Papua, Indonesia on 8 October 2016. Probably my favorite bird of the trip. There are no other birds quite like this one! Since he is most active first thing in the morning it's a hard one to photograph, especially against a white sky in very poor light. It's hard to convey the excitement of watching this fantastic bird as he sidles up and down his chosen display tree. He did ruffle himself up a bit on occasion, but as no female was present we were not treated to his full display - maybe next time...
