Daubenton's Curassow male
The male (above) is superficially similar to the Great, Black and Bare-faced Curassows, with black plumage, a curly crest, a bright yellow patch on the base of the beak and a white underbelly. It is also called the Yellow-knobbed Curassow, unhepfully, since the male Great Curassow also has a knob on his yellow bill.
