Veekay, I'm not familiar with the birds in your part of the world, but this one is not the robin that we have here in the US or Europe. Hope someone else can help you.

Looks like it might be some kind of Oriole?

Sorry, don't know the name of the bird either. But I recognized the fruit, we have them back home in the Philippines and I love them.

If it were in the US I would guess a Tanager. Perhaps a Summer Tanager. I don't know anything about what kind of birds there are in Trinidad Tobago though.

How about summer tanager? "summer tanager" - Google Image Search
All About Birds: Summer Tanager

They seem to winter in your area.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

That is a beauty! Never have seen one of those. Saw Summer Tanagers in Dallas, Texas and thought them beautiful. We don't have much in the way of red birds on the west coast.
