English term or phrase: smooth-billed ani

The Smooth-billed Ani (Crotophaga ani) is a large near passerine bird in the cuckoo family. It is a resident breeding species from southern Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, parts of Central America, south to western Ecuador, Brazil, and northern Argentina.

This ani is found in open and semi-open country and areas under cultivation. The nest, built communally by several pairs, is a deep cup lined with leaves and placed usually 2–6 m (6.6–20 ft) high in a tree. A number of females lay their chalky blue eggs in the nest and then share incubation and feeding.

I need the name in Spanish please.

Another name I didn't have enough space to add is "garrapatero común".

Yet another name is "judío", although I can't vouch for the political correctness of this one...
